Investigative journalist and social media commentator Natumanya Andrew has issued a firm warning to Justine Nameere, urging her to apologise to Nation Media Group Uganda executive Susan Nsibirwa following a series of controversial online exchanges that have drawn widespread attention.
Natumanya’s remarks come in the wake of a heated dispute triggered by Nsibirwa’s public criticism questioning aspects of Nameere’s political legitimacy and electoral conduct.
In response, Nameere escalated the exchange by levelling a series of personal allegations against Nsibirwa.
Among the claims made by Nameere was an accusation that Nsibirwa had a history of alcohol and cannabis use, which she described in unverified terms as a “known alcohol and njaga problem.”
She further alleged that Nsibirwa had previously been arrested in 2015 and that she had once stood surety for her at a police station during that period.
Nameere also claimed that Nsibirwa’s former colleagues at Vision Group allegedly declined to intervene during her police detention, describing her as a “recidivist” at the time.
In additional remarks, she suggested that Nsibirwa had undergone rehabilitation treatment in the past, although she did not provide evidence to support the assertions.
The allegations, which have not been independently verified, have intensified public scrutiny of the dispute. Nsibirwa has not publicly addressed the specific claims in detail but is reported to have threatened legal action, describing the statements as defamatory and harmful to her reputation.
It is against this backdrop that Natumanya issued his warning, taking a direct stance against Nameere’s conduct.
“Nameere should apologize to Susan Nsibirwa immediately less of which, I’ll go rogue too and present some receipts of our beloved minister doing un-ministerial things,” he stated.
He further cautioned that continued attacks could trigger further disclosures.
“Nameere making those false allegations against madam Sue will be the last time she does anything like that!” he added.
The intervention by Natumanya has widened the conversation, with concerns emerging over the increasing personalization of disputes involving political figures and media executives on social platforms
