Cox Kibedi, a 48-year-old resident residing on Kyanja Ring Road, has been remanded in Luzira until February 2, 2024, facing three charges of cyber harassment. The allegations arise from the purported sharing of an explicit video link on Facebook targeting Agaba Rebecca. This led to his appearance before Chief Magistrate Samuel Kayiizi at Buganda Road.
In the courtroom, Kibedi contested the charges, arguing that Facebook operates beyond Uganda’s jurisdiction, rendering the accusations baseless. Despite his denial, the magistrate ordered his remand for further investigations.
This is not the first incident involving Kibedi, as previous records indicate a history of inappropriate behavior towards women dating back to 2021. He stands accused of persistently harassing and verbally abusing women who reject his advances, often resorting to offensive language. The allegations include derogatory labeling of these women.
