The hearing of the case against YMCA student Brain Isiko has flopped after Buganda Road grade one Magistrate Stella Amabirisi didn’t appear for court sessions.
Isiko is accused of stalking Kabarole Woman MP Sylvia Rwabwogo and allegedly putting her life in fear.
The student was in July convicted for cyber harassment and offensive communication and sentenced to two years in prison by grade one magistrate Gladys Kamasanyu for sending love texts and stalking the MP.
Through his lawyer Ramadhan Waiswa, Isiko appealed against Buganda road Magistrate’s decision on among others that the legislator once appeared in the press saying she is single and searching. He was subsequently released by Buganda Road Magistrate Jane Francis Abodo.
Appearing before court, Chief Magistrate Patricia Amiko told court that the judge in the matter is imposed and the hearing of the case was adjourned to November 16. The suspect was later taken back to Luzira prison.
Speaking after court session, the MP said she had come to testify against Isiko’s intentions of becoming her friend and seeking for help in his poultry business. Rwabwogo said the messages were obscene and disturbed her peace of mind.
Prosecution avers that between June and December 2017, Isiko borrowed lyrics from international musicians like Don Williams and Enrique Iglesias and used them to lure the MP into a love relationship.
