Frank Gashumba Arrested


Sisimuka Uganda Boss Frank Gashumba has been arrested and is now being held at CID head offices in Kampala on the orders of the states.
Through his Facebook page, Gashumba has said; “As expected the State has ordered for my Arrest, now being held at CID headquarters”.
 
It’s not yet clear what could have resulted to his arrest.
Gashumba has been involved in tough verbal exchange with prominent persons like Speaker Rebecca Kadaga when the latter described him as a Rwandese who shouldn’t be criticizing Ugandans.
Gashumba threatened to sue the Speaker if she does not apologize to him.
Recently, the Communications regulator, Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) issued an injunction halting NTV from hosting the embattled Gashumba until further notice.
Frank Gashumba reacted by attacking UCC and describing them as Certified Cowards, saying that this is not the work of UCC but rather the government is trying to stop him from being broadcasted.
“I suspect small vampires who have participated in looting and mismanaging our country, for many years, are using UCC to fight our freedom of expression.” Said Gashumba

Paper Talk: Arsenal & Everton battle; Leicester eye Leeds star

Arsenal and Everton will compete to sign one of England’s most promising youngsters, while Leicester have their sights set on Leeds’ left-back, according to today’s papers.

HULL PROSPECT IN DEMAND

Arsenal and Everton are set to do battle for highly-rated Hull defender Josh Tymon in January, with Arsene Wenger and Ronald Koeman keen admirers of the 17-year-old.
Tymon impressed at left-back in the League Cup win over Bristol City on Tuesday and is expected to make his Premier League bow at Watford on Saturday with Andy Robertson sidelined through injury.
According to both the Daily Mirror and The Sun, Arsenal and Everton were already monitoring Tymon’s progress in Hull’s development squad, and regard the player as one of England’s best prospects.
The youngster has yet to sign his first professional contract at the Tigers, and both interested parties are prepared to meet whatever compensation fee Hull demand.
