Police in Wakiso District have arrested a suspect in connection with the alleged aggravated defilement of an eight-year-old girl, following the circulation of a disturbing video on social media.
According to Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson Racheal Kawala, Moses Ssebagala was apprehended after being identified in the footage, which reportedly showed the incident involving a juvenile.
“The suspect has been arrested and is currently in custody. He will be produced in court as investigations into the matter continue,” Kawala said.
