Pressure 247’s account has served as a platform for him to target influential Ugandans, including Buganda Kingdom King Ronald Muwenda Mutebi and President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni. The arrest occurred yesterday evening in a hotel, though the precise location remains undisclosed for security reasons. Full Figure, alongside Buganda Kingdom representative Counsel Matovu, has confirmed the arrest, emphasizing the gravity of the situation.
The involvement of influential figures like the President of Uganda and the Kabaka of Buganda highlights the significance of Pressure’s case. While specific charges haven’t been disclosed, his actions have evidently impacted his targets.
