Sembabule, Uganda — The father of Ugandan singer and politician Nina Roz was arrested in Sembabule following an incident involving a cow, sparking widespread discussion and conflicting reports on social media.
Early claims suggested that Nina Roz’s father had stolen a cow, leading to his arrest in early November. These allegations quickly spread online, drawing public attention and criticism.
However, Nina Roz has publicly dismissed the theft accusations as false, saying the situation has been misrepresented. According to her statement, the issue arose when one of her father’s cows allegedly strayed onto another person’s land, triggering a dispute that resulted in his arrest.
Human rights lawyer and Kampala Woman MP Hon. Shamim Malende traveled to Sembabule to follow up on the matter, speaking with local authorities as the family sought clarity on the charges and the circumstances surrounding the arrest.
The incident has caused emotional and political strain for the singer, who recently ventured into politics. Sources close to her indicate that she has temporarily stepped back from her campaign activities to focus on her father’s case.
Police in Sembabule have not yet issued an official statement detailing the charges, leaving room for public speculation. Meanwhile, Nina Roz continues to call for fairness and urges the public to avoid spreading unverified information.
Investigations are ongoing, and further updates are expected as authorities review the case.
