Police in Mbarara have arrested the self proclaimed King of Ankole Nyakusinga over what police says is masquerading and impersonation.
This comes after Dr. George William Katatumba from the Nkore Cultural Trust an organisation tasked to oversee the Obugabe of Ankole, wrote a letter on behalf of the kingdom to the Inspector General of Police, General Kale Kayihura requesting him to look into the matter.
Dr Katatumba adds that there are two individuals, Mr. Max Muhumuza and Mr. Asiimwe who are ranting on Social Media claiming to have been coronated as king Rubambasi Ntare IV of Ankole Kingdom.
