Martha Kay summoned by police, fails to show up, switches phones off

Social media entertainer Martha Kemi Kagimba alias Martha Kay, has been issued summons by the Uganda Police to present her self for investigations and potential arrest.

The comedienne, who came to the peak of her limelight following the leakage of her explicit pictures to social media last week, was summoned by the Anti-Pornographic Committee through the police.

According to Deputy Police Spokesperson, Patrick Onyango, the committee asked them to investigate Martha Kay together with another Shawula Kasule a daughter to Supreme Mufti Sheik Sulaiman Kasule Ndilangwa over their leaked pictures.

“The Committee showed their interest and also directed us to investigate the matters. Today we summoned Martha to come for a brief interview, we are still waiting for her,” Onyango said.

“We want her to come and explain. If she also wants to open up a case against those who leaked the nudes, she is welcome. We are patiently waiting for her. We shall handle the matter professionally,” he added.

According to reports, Martha Kay was meant to appear yesterday but she was no where to be seen, with her phones switched off.

“We shall wait for her, if she does come today, we shall wait for tomorrow, or any other day for her to report here,” Onyango said.

On Friday last week, social media was awash with inappropriate photos said to be of Martha Kay just a few days after Shawula Kasule’s had also leaked to the public on social media.

The distributor of the photos in both cases is yet to be identified but sources close to Martha Kay revealed to Nile Post that Martha was a victim of revenge pornography.

Now the chairperson of the Pornography Control Committee, Dr Annette Kezaabu revealed yesterday evening that the two will have to face arrest since there are no other suspects in both cases so far.

“Our committee will meet on Wednesday (tomorrow) and thereafter work with police to cause their arrest. In these two cases, we have no other suspects apart from the two girls themselves that are appearing in the photos naked. They will have to come before the committee and explain how their photos ended up in the public,” she said.

During a live talk show with Cedric Babu on the live Cedric show in April, Martha Kay said she has started to embrace her body, which never was the case.

According to Martha Kay, the comments from social media users have given her new findings about her body that she had no idea about.
