Notorious for his frequent online attacks and verbal assaults, TikTok personality Pressure 24/7, whose real name is Ibrahim Musana, found himself in Buganda Road Court today facing charges related to his abusive and threatening behavior towards the King of Buganda. He has been remanded to Luzira prison until March 7, 2024.
This marks Pressure 24/7's first appearance in court since his arrest on February 17, 2024. His arrest stemmed from numerous instances of attacking and making defamatory remarks about various individuals, including the Kabaka of Buganda, on social media platforms.
Pressure 24/7's repeated attacks on the king prompted concerned citizens to report him to the authorities, leading to his apprehension. Despite his claims that he did not intend to disparage the Kabaka, he was unable to avoid legal consequences.
During his court appearance, Pressure 24/7 attributed his actions to alleged haunting by his ancestors' spirits, urging him to assert his claim to the Buganda throne. He expressed remorse for his abusive language towards the Kabaka but cited a compromised mental state.
Despite his apologies and explanations, Pressure 24/7 was denied bail and will remain in custody until his next court appearance in March. At that time, he will await the judgment of the court.
