Priest apologises for stink over Ugandan singer Desire’s nude pics

A priest-turned-politician who pushed for Ugandan singer Desire Luzinda’s arrest has apologised.

“Is there any relative of Desire Luzinda here? I apologise to her. I was so rough on her and I wanted her apprehended,” politician Simon Lokodo said at a sensitisation workshop on pornography.

Lokodo said what the local artiste went through was ‘total malice’.

“I asked her, why did you do this? But she pleaded innocence, saying she was not the one who leaked her own nudes but rather her estranged lover,”he said

Luzinda’s lover Franklin Emuobor, a Nigerian national, released a series of pictures showing her nude in December last year.

The pictures went viral on social media, drawing thousands of comments about the artiste and her estranged boyfriend.
