Bbosa was arrested after the school headteacher of the victim reported the matter to Ndejje Police Station.\u00a0The victim informed the headteacher that the father had been sexually abusing her and that he impregnated her before ordering her to abort.\u00a0Bbosa allegedly threatened to deny her school fees.\u00a0On Tuesday, Bbosa was presented before Luwero Grade One Magistrate Franca Atto Okello where charges of defilement contrary to section 116 (4) (C) of the penal code were read to him.<\/p>\n
According to the Prosecution led by Sandra Nakire, Bbosa performed sexual acts with his daughter between 2021 to 2024 at his home located at Kayunga village in Luwero district.\u00a0The Magistrate didn’t allow the suspect to plead to the charges since his court lacks jurisdiction to try capital offenses.<\/p>\n
