Social media personality Magala Balikyewunya, popularly known as Mzee Magala, is expected to learn his fate on Thursday, November 12, 2026, when court in Luweero District delivers its judgment in an attempted murder case against him.

Mzee Magala is currently on remand at Butuntumula Government Prison in Luweero District following his recent rearrest after court reportedly determined that he was wanted in connection with the case.

The charges stem from a violent land dispute that occurred on April 13, 2022, at approximately 3:00pm at Christopher and David Farm (CD Farm) in Kanyale Village, Nakaseke District.

During the confrontation at the contested property, Andrew Akandwanaho, a 33-year-old farm manager, sustained gunshot injuries.

According to the case details, a .303 rifle bearing serial number UG POL 78406 D 108015 was also reportedly taken from security guard Daniel Omara. Two motorcycles, a Bajaj Boxer registration number UDS 797F and a UG Boss registration number UEY 126Z, were also reported missing.

Security personnel responded after a report was made by a resident at the farm and subsequently recovered the missing firearm. However, the two motorcycles were never recovered.

Mzee Magala remanded to prison on attempted murder charges as police probe

Police investigations led to the arrest of Mzee Magala and Omara on allegations connected to the incident. Investigators reportedly noted that the group had visited the contested property without informing local police authorities.

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) initially charged both men. However, prosecutors later dropped the case against Omara, leaving Mzee Magala as the sole accused person.

Mzee Magala took plea on August 22, 2022, and was initially granted bail as the case proceeded through court.

However, security personnel rearrested him last week before he was produced in court the following day and remanded to Butuntumula Government Prison pending the delivery of judgment.
