NIGERIANS MAY PUSH FOR TINUBU TO EXCEED TWO-TERM LIMIT OVER REFORMS —OSUN MONARCH . (PHOTO).
Fortunate Kyarikunda, a law enforcement officer with Rubanda Town Council, has been committed to Rukungiri Government Prison (civil wing) for up to six months.
The order was issued by Grade One Magistrate Dinah (Diana) Nekesa after she failed to pay Shs 14,099,100 owed to Richard Tumwine.
The debt follows a 2023 Kanungu Magistrate’s Court judgment for breach of promise to marry.
Tumwine had sponsored her education, including a diploma at the Law Development Centre, spending about Shs 9.4 million.
The court ordered a refund plus Shs 1 million damages, with the total rising to Shs 14,099,100 after costs.
She was arrested while on duty and jailed for non-payment.
Because this is civil enforcement of a debt, not a criminal conviction, she will be released once the full amount is paid or after serving the 6-month term.
