Omukama Edward Rukiidi Nyabongo I, a son to Prince Christopher Paul Kiijanangoma and a grandson of Omukama George David Kamurasi Rukiidi ascended to the throne on September 29th, 2026, after the death of his cousin King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV who succumbed to cancer at the age of 34 in the United states.
The defence in the Christopher Onyum Okello murder trial has closed its case after failing to produce key witnesses, pushing proceedings into the final stage. The high-profile case, linked to the killing of four toddlers in Ggaba, now heads to closing arguments as the court prepares for a final ruling.
The High Court has allowed a private prosecution against Judge Julia Sebutinde to proceed, dismissing his bid to halt the case as premature. In a firm ruling, the court clarified that its revision powers apply only to final orders, signaling a strong stance against attempts to interrupt criminal proceedings before trial begins.
