“During the interaction with the CID officers, Sheebah revealed the details and the individual who was involved and the related circumstances,” Enanga said.

“In her complaint, Sheebah clearly mentions the suspect and refutes the ongoing speculation in sections of the media that it was senior journalist Andrew Mwenda.”

“In view of the above, a team of Detectives has commenced investigations on the matter to ensure justice for the victim,” Enanga stated.

He added: “We do thank Sheebah for taking the courage to report the matter and assure the public that as Uganda Police we take matters of Gender-Based Violence seriously.”

When asked whether Sheebah reported on her own or was summoned, Enanga clarified: “She was contacted immediately after her video and she offered to report today at CID for her side of the story.”
