In Kampala: Singer Namubiru Faces Death Sentence
06:05
The
‘Nkuweki’ star was arrested two days ago and is still detained after
she was allegedly found in possession of pellets stashed inside matooke.
“Investigations
are going on to establish the truth. But her situation does not look
pretty at the moment.” A source said. Namubiru has however maintained
her innocence and has since claimed that the matooke she was arrested
with had been given to her by a person in Uganda to deliver it to their
relatives in Japan.
The
source further added; “Iryn says she had had no knowledge of what she
was carrying”. However our correspondents in Japan claim police are
following up on leads that Iryn has previously travelled with the same
suspicious peeled matooke. This has happened for three times though she
always got away with it until her luck run out last week.
It should be noted that on May 14th
2011, High Court in Japan handed a death sentence to a Ugandan
identified as Emmanuel whom they found guilty of drug trafficking. He
was found with 427.9gm of Metamphetamine and 14,256.8gm of cannabis.
In the same year 25th October, the High court also convicted Takeuchi, 39, a Japanese woman of the same crime of drug trafficking.
As
you read this, Iryn’s Manager Thaddeus Mubiru who has still refused to
talk to the press has been seen frequently seeking help from the
government officials.
