Presidential Advisor in charge of Greater Masaka sub region Justine Nameere is in hot soup after reportedly hiring goons to beat up presidential advisor Jennifer Nakangubi, widely known as Full Figure.
According to Police , Nameere ,also the NRM flag bearer for Masaka City Woman and her husband assaulted and robbed Full Figure of her mobile phone and Shs500,000 her along Kyadondo Road in Kampala on Friday
“Full Figure has since reported the case to the Kampala Metropolitan Police headquarters, where her statement was recorded, and witnesses were identified. Detectives visited the crime scene and are currently working to track down Nameere and her husband,” Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson Patrick Onyango said on Friday
Both Nameere and Full Figure backed rival camps in the National Resistance Movement’s Central Region CEC elections.
Nameere, daughter of former defence minister Vincent Ssempijja, supported businessman and Kayunga District NRM chairperson Moses Karangwa, while Full Figure rallied behind microfinance minister Haruna Kasolo. Kasolo won, though Karangwa’s camp alleged vote-rigging.
The rivalry quickly spilled onto social media, with supporters trading verbal attacks. Friday’s confrontation escalated those tensions into physical violence, with bystanders recording videos that have since gone viral.
In the footage circulating on social media platforms , Full Figure is seen being beaten by two men while a woman is heard accusing her of “abusing my husband for no reason.” The man repeatedly asks her why she was insulting him.
One of the men, who were beating Full Figure, was also asking her why she was abusing him.
Efforts to get a comment from Nameere and her husband were futile by press time Sunday afternoon.
