25-year old student jailed for 2 years for stalking and confessing love for female lawmaker in Uganda

       25-year old student jailed for 2 years for stalking and confessing love for female lawmaker in Uganda
Brian Isiko, a 25-year old Ugandan student has been handed a two year prison sentence for confessing his “too much love” for Kabalore Woman Member of Parliament, Ms Sylvia Rwabwoogo.

The student of YMCA Jinja Branch was convicted on his own plea of guilty to counts of cyber harassment and offensive communication. He confessed that the calls and text messages professing obsessed love to the MP he had never physically seen, were from him.

Tears rolled down Ms Rwabwoogo’s cheeks as she told court that she started receiving calls admitting love from a stranger. She said that it all started around November 2017, which made her think that someone was intending to harm her.

She thought the calls and text messages were a trap her tormentors had set. She said: “One of his texts that provoked my fears read: “I love you so much and want to protect you. My love is for you alone and since there is no one taking care of you, I will do it. I have realised that you are in deep trouble.”

Ms Rwabwoogo said she received many calls and over 10 messages adding that at one time, her stalker texted asserting that he had failed to sleep at night because he was thinking about her. The MP said she set up an appointment to meet the stalker, on June 11, 2018, after the Police assigned her a guard. Moments later, her guard arrested him.

Rwabwoogo added that what still puzzles her is that even when Isiko was in police custody she continued receiving love text messages from his phone. She said this has caused her to suffer psychological torture.

In her verdict, the judge, Kamasanyu, said society has groomed men to always demean and disrespect women and that is why Isiko continued to bother Rwabwogo even after blocking his calls.

Police close in on Turkish School pupils’ abductors.

The police have discovered where the kidnappers who abducted 10 students and staff of the Nigerian Turkish International College are keeping their hostages, it was learnt yesterday A top police source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said the identities of the kidnappers had also been uncovered. The location, he added, was in the creeks, but detectives who were on the abductors’ trail could not access the place for fear of endangering the captives. “We know the exact location in the creek where the children and members of staff are kept but we cannot storm the place because the lives of the children are in danger. “We would not make mistake of attempting the creek because there is no how the kidnappers will not see us coming and they may end up killing their victims. We need the assistance of the Nigerian Air Force (NAF) and the Nigerian Army, who we think have the wherewithal to penetrate the creek through the air,” he said.
