The Minister of State for Youth and Children Affairs, Hon. Balaam Barugahara, has issued a 12-hour ultimatum to Abdul Ssekajja Qadir, the newly engaged fiancé of singer Chosen Becky, to report to his office immediately. The directive comes amid serious allegations that Qadir impregnated a 16-year-old girl before abandoning her in a rented house.
Speaking on Spark TV on Monday, Hon. Barugahara emphasized the urgency of the matter, warning that failure to comply could lead to further action. The Minister has been known for his firm stance against defilement and sexual violence, and he insists that the law must take its course regardless of social status or public attention.
The timing of the allegations has drawn significant public attention, as Qadir recently proposed to Chosen Becky, a mother of four, in a high-profile ceremony earlier this month. The development has left many social media users both shocked and amused, especially given Qadir’s previous role as the singer’s photographer and driver, which gave him a close working relationship with the artist.
Observers say the case highlights the delicate balance between personal scandal and public accountability. While fans were celebrating the engagement, the allegations against Qadir have overshadowed the romantic narrative, sparking debates online about morality, justice, and celebrity relationships.
For now, all eyes are on whether Qadir will comply with the Minister’s ultimatum and report to the authorities. Meanwhile, the public awaits updates on the investigation and the legal steps that will follow, as Uganda continues to enforce strict measures against defilement and protect its youth.
