City socialite and top snapchatter, Bad Black real names Shanita Namuyimbwa has had her phone confiscated by Police. This comes after the ex-convict posted a video on her Snapchat account that was considered to be in violation of Ugandan laws.
Black was summoned for a video in which authorities believe she was defaming the President of Uganda. She told fans that she was summoned, responded and was released on bond.
‘I was summoned to the CID headquarters for Social Media misuse and I am being charged with disturbing the peace of the President. I went there yesterday morning and spent the whole day there. Later I got a police bond. The offence was committed in Dubai in August last year according to Police.’ Black said.
The socialite and mother noted that Police was very respectful towards her as they handled the case. ” I was handled very well and there were no issues. I think it is because I respected the summons. I don’t want to run from my home. I am going to sort them.’ Black remarked.
She then told her fans that her phone was retained and she decided to buy a new phone immediately after. “They have retained my phone for three days as they conduct investigations. I am willing to go to court. I have my defense I didn’t mention the President’s name in that video. I just said Mzee and that is all. I know this will end. I am not into politics. Anyone who wants to get me involved in Politics I am not interested. I just do what makes me happy on Social Media. I know this will end.”
The said video had Black saying that she was raped and even got pregnant.
In 2016 Bad Black was released from Luzira Prison when she completed a 4 year jail term for conning her white lover of Ushs 11 billion. She has since been in and out of the country, hooked up with several guys including other white men some of whom come to Uganda to visit her from time to time.
