Nasser Nduhukire, a Kampala socialite, has been remanded to Luzira prison on charges of aggravated trafficking and sexual exploitation of a minor. Arrested in Kenya, he is accused of transporting a 16-year-old girl to his residence in Uganda. His co-accused, Ateete Promise, had her bail revoked following the amendment of charges. Both await trial in the Highcourt, as the magistrate court lacks jurisdiction over such capital offenses.

He seeks a court injunction to halt any further negotiations and holds the president and Minister of Internal Affairs accountable for abuse of public office. The case highlights tensions between government actions and public interest in land use.
