Joy Doreen Biira reveals the fate of her father after he was arrested by Ugandan police
Ugandan authorities won’t stop tormenting Joy Doreen Biira; the KTN anchor was charged with abetting terrorism following the bloody Kasese massacre.
Late November 2016, Joy Doreen Biira, her husband Newton Kungu and a few relatives were locked at Kasese Police Station for what Ugandan authorities termed as sharing photos and videos of a military operation against a tribal king.
The KTN anchor had to travel back to Uganda after she was released from police custody for the hearing of her case which was mentioned in court on December 8th.
Just when she thought Museveni and his brutal police had stopped going after her family since she was cooperating with authorities, the unforeseen happened.
Biira’s father was briefly detained by Ugandan police early Tuesday morning December 13th. The KTN anchor broke news about her father’s arrest on social media.
“Receiving reports of my dad being detained … reasons not yet confirmed I pray he’s just being asked to write a statement or answer to a few questions … that would be okay. Hope it’s nothing serious,” Joy Doreen Biira posted on Facebook.
She later confirmed that her father had been released after he was questioned by authorities.
“Dad is okay and a free man. he was only asked a few questions – like I said earlier it’s nothing to worry about.”
