At the start of this week, Kato Ivan Makindye division resident resident was apprehended and locked up by the authorities over allegations of homosexuality promotion.
According to reports surrounding Kato’s arrest, his landlord tipped the Police in light of suspecting homosexual activities in his house.
Reports suggest that Kato had been severally inviting male strangers to his house before embroiling in activities that raised eyebrows in his neighbourhood sparking his arrest.
When Kato was questioned about the unusual activities at his home, Kato distanced himself from the allegations, pointing out that it was a straightforward Christian fellowship.
However, after a thorough search inside his rental unit, some LGBTQIA community-authored books were retrieved by a well-known gay poet, author, and performer from the UK, “Kestrel Gaian”.
Kato was since detained at a nearby police station for more questioning and charged with promotion of homosexuality contrary to laws that govern the country.
