“Let Police Handle Nameere Accordingly” President’s Office Orders After Full Figure Was Beaten To Pulp

The President’s Office has clarified that the police are responsible for handling the case involving Justine Nameere Nsubuga independently, following the recent attack on Full Figure Nakangubi. Hajji Yunus Kakande, a senior technocrat in the President’s Office, made the remarks on Kabaka’s CBS radio, emphasizing that the office is no longer accountable for Nameere’s actions.

Nameere, the Masaka City Woman MP NRM flag bearer, is now facing aggravated robbery charges after Full Figure claimed she was attacked and beaten over the weekend. Video footage of the incident at the NRM headquarters in Nakasero showed Full Figure being assaulted, sparking widespread public attention and outcry.

Kakande clarified that Nameere ceased to be a Presidential Advisor when she joined partisan politics to campaign for the NRM flag in Masaka City. “She no longer carries the title, and all protective privileges including vehicles and bodyguards have been withdrawn,” he explained, stressing that she cannot use the title to intimidate opponents or influence voters.

The Presidential Office emphasized that it would be both illegal and criminal for Nameere to claim any affiliation with them while engaging in political campaigns. Kakande urged the police to investigate the matter fully, without fear or favour, noting that the law empowers them to handle all reported cases impartially, regardless of the suspect’s status.

Reports indicate that the attack involved Nameere, her husband Nsubuga, and other unidentified individuals. Full Figure alleges that she was not only beaten but also robbed of Shs500,000 and her smartphone. The case has drawn significant public attention, with many criticizing Nameere and her associates for orchestrating the violence.

Nameere, however, continues to deny any involvement. She claims that her voice was manipulated in the viral video to make her appear guilty and described the reports as propaganda from pro-Nakangubi actors. Despite her denial, the matter remains under police investigation and is expected to proceed according to the law.

This development highlights that the rule of law will take precedence over political influence, with the President’s Office making it clear that Nameere must face any legal consequences independently. Observers suggest that the outcome of this case could set an important precedent for how politically connected individuals are treated under Ugandan law.
