Many young individuals are drawn to the excitement and thrill of sports betting due to the rush of making predictions and the chance of fast wins. We look at how sports betting is gradually affecting young people’s lives in this open investigation.

With the proliferation of online betting services, underage gamblers have more options than ever before. Many young individuals partake in this form of gambling due to the convenience of placing bets from mobile devices.

A change in priorities has a major effect on some persons whose sports betting becomes too much. Attracting potential benefits could take resources away from more valuable pursuits, such as education or personal development.

The monetary ramifications are an additional consideration that must be considered. The thrill of victory might be too much for some, while the crushing disappointment of losing would be too much for others. Particularly vulnerable to the consequences of mounting debt and precarious financial situations are young individuals living on low salaries.

Sports betting also impacts the social dynamics of young people. Traditional social activities can be supplanted by the pursuit of luck through wagers, and conversations about betting can become the focal point of friendships. Because of this shift, people’s social networks may suffer as they withdraw from their non-betting friends and acquaintances.

As the tendency grows, more and more people are demanding education and responsible gaming practices. Educating the youth of today about the risks of excessive sports betting is crucial. Possible mitigation strategies include advocating a healthy equilibrium between work and play.

Media outlets and advocacy organizations are addressing the growing problem of underage sports betting head-on. Laws, public awareness campaigns, and support networks are urgently needed to address the growing epidemic, according to news reports.

Finally, it’s important to recognize that betting on sports may be both exciting and lucrative, but that it also has the potential to negatively impact young people. We may strive towards a comprehensive plan that safeguards the welfare of the younger generation from shifting entertainment patterns by increasing awareness, encouraging responsible gaming, and providing support networks.

Isabirye John, 7, a son of Mr. Muwodi Robert, a resident of Bulungu zone, Busimba Ward, Namwendwa Town council in Kamuli district, was recognized by police as the 7-year-old boy killed.

It is alleged that the deceased went missing on Sunday night, and it later came to be known that he had been kidnapped by Waiswa Abdallah (who was someone unknown at that time) according to the Regional Police spokesperson of Busoga North by the name of ASP Kasadha Micheal.

Research carried out by the police indicates that Waiswa found the victim at the community borehole at around 08:00 PM and took him to an unknown place before he started making calls demanding a ransom of Shs 3m from the parents of Isabirye (deceased)

Kasadha the police spokesperson says Katended went on demanding for ransom until yesterday (Monday morning) when he succeeded after negotiating the fee to the figure of Ugandan Shs 50000 and this was raised and sent by the community.

“Having sent the money, the concerned residents started pleading with Waiswa and asking for the possible recovery of the minor. Unfortunately, the first attempt did not yield as he gave them the wrong information. It was after a series of engagements that he directed him to the nearby sugarcane plantation in the same area where they found the boy killed with signs of strangulation,” said ASP Kasadha in a Monday evening police statement made.

On discovering the minor’s lifeless body, the district community Liaison officer had just arrived on the ground to engage the residents who were threatening and ready to destroy the home of Semakula Isma, father to the suspect.

7 year Old boy Killed

Kasadha urged members of the public who could be having information that can lead to the arrest of Waiswa Abudallah Katende to avail it to the police as investigations and a manhunt for the suspect intensifies.

At the time of filing all stories, the deceased’s body was conveyed to Kamuli general hospital mortuary for an autopsy report and from there it will later be handed to the family for the burial process. May John’s soul rest in peace.

James Howard Jackson, one of three men and two accomplices who participated in the violent robbery and its aftermath, pleaded no contest to one count of attempted murder, according to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office. It was not immediately clear which attorney represented Howard on Monday.

The pop star’s dog walker, Ryan Fischer, was seriously wounded in the attack and addressed the court Monday to give an impact statement, which he posted on Instagram.“It’s hard to believe that it’s nearing two years since I was taking Asia, Koji and Gustav out for an evening stroll when — in an instant — I suddenly found myself fighting with everything I had to protect those dogs from being stolen. But it wasn’t enough: I was beaten, strangled, shot and left to die bleeding out on a sidewalk and gasping for my life. And Koji and Gustav were gone.”Jackson and two others drove around Hollywood, the city of West Hollywood and the San Fernando Valley on Feb. 24, 2021 “looking for French bulldogs,” prosecutors said previously. They found Fischer with the pop star’s three pets.

Jackson shot Fischer during the robbery off the famed Sunset Boulevard, during which two of the dogs were taken. A nearby doorbell camera recorded the dog walker screaming “Oh, my God! I’ve been shot!” and “Help me!” and “I’m bleeding out from my chest!”

Fischer later called the violence a “very close call with death” in social media posts. In his statement Monday, he said he is still healing physically and mentally from the shooting. Part of his lung had to be removed and he is still undergoing physical therapy.

Fischer also addressed Jackson directly in the statement, and said he forgives him and the others involved in the attack. “You completely altered my life, and I know I can’t fully move forward from the night you shot me until I said those words to you.”

The stolen dogs were returned several days later by Jennifer McBride, who was also charged in the crime.The pop star had offered a $500,000 reward — “no questions asked” — to be reunited with the dogs at the time.

Jackson also admitted the allegation of inflicting great bodily injury and to a prior strike, the DA’s office said Monday. The prosecutor’s office did not immediately say what the prior strike was.

“The plea agreement holds Mr. Jackson accountable for perpetrating a coldhearted violent act and provides justice for our victim,” the office said in a statement. Howard had been charged with attempted murder, conspiracy to commit a robbery and assault with a semiautomatic firearm.

Jackson was mistakenly released from jail earlier this year due to a clerical error. He was recaptured nearly five months later.

Another accomplice, Harold White, pleaded no contest Monday to a count of ex-convict in possession of a gun. White, who was in a relationship with McBride at the time, will be sentenced next year. McBride’s case is ongoing.

The couple had allegedly tried to help White’s son, Jaylin White, avoid arrest in the aftermath of the shooting.

Jaylin White and Lafayette Whaley earlier this year pleaded no contest to robbery.

Whaley drove Jackson and the younger White around last year as they searched for the pricy dogs. Jackson and White jumped out and attacked Fischer, prosecutors said previously. They hit and choked the dog walker, and Jackson pulled out a semiautomatic gun and fired, striking Fischer once before the trio fled.

For three days now, a video in which a young girl is being assaulted by her friends has been circulating all over social media. The girl was being beaten for allegedly sleeping with her friend’s boyfriend. The name of the girl in the video is Pretty Nicole and according to her mother, she is only 14.

According to the recent videos seen on social media, Nicole who is still nursing injuries, has been hanging out with a group of girls in various bars and nightclubs around town at such a tender age. Many people say she was exposed to adult life while she is still young.

Most of the news has been rotating around people feeling sorry for her and the need to arrest her tormentors but very few people have been talking about how this young girl ended up in a sexual relationship at such a tender age. The alleged boyfriend, who is not clearly seen in the video, and is probably on the run, should also be arrested for sleeping with an underage girl. Police should interrogate him on how he came into contact with her and what his motives with her are.

According to the constitution of Uganda, it is only people above the age of 18 are meant to engage in sexual intercourse since they can decide on their own. Pretty Nicole on the other hand is also faulted for running away from her mother in Mpigi only to come to Kampala to party and abandon school. This information was revealed by a caretaker with whom Nicole has been staying, ever since she ran away from her home.

For six months, Pretty Nicole hasn’t been staying with her mother and this is dangerous. Her mother, who was visibly broken and crying, on seeing the video of her daughter being battered, said that she needs justice for her daughter and called out the Speaker of parliament Rt. Hon. Anita Among to help her in this fight.

By press time, one of the girls seen battering Nicole had been arrested by police and we believe that this is a step in the right direction and that more girls will be arrested as time goes on. Mr. Luke Owoyesigyire, the deputy Police spokesperson in Kampala metropolitan area, said that the suspect is called Kafta Queen and she is 18.

However, Pretty Nicole’s case should act as an example to many girls out there who choose to run away from their homes, go against their parent’s advice, and engage in sex at an under age, that their actions could turn out for the worst. Stay blessed.

Andrew Jedidiah Ssebaggala, the production manager of Uganda National Cultural Centre (UNCC), can claim to have an answer. UNCC runs a venue that needs no introduction to Ugandan creatives— the National Theatre.

Ssebaggala, who is also involved in booking space at, among others, the National Theatre’s auditorium, says there are a couple of dynamics involved in organising a music concert.

When you choose to stage your concert at the National Theatre’s auditorium, for instance, Ssebaggala says the venue fees will grant you access to changing rooms, the green room and inbuilt resources like the chairs, lights, stage and simple sound.

A producer and an arts group manager, Ssebaggala further explains that to turn in a profit, art —much like any business—requires sound investment and accountability.

Juvenile Unik Mugisha, an event’s organiser and a music manager, who recently held a successful concert for singer Shafik Walukagga, alias Fik Fameica, told Sunday Monitor that—on average—one needs Shs150 million to organise a mega music concert in Kampala.Mugisha said the money is channelled to production, advertising, security, Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA), police, National Environment Management Authority (Nema) and venue fees. He further added that—on average—an outdoor venue for a massive concert can cost anywhere between Shs20 million to Shs25 million, depending on days of preparation, size and negotiations.Deliverables

The venue and production consume a disproportionate part of the money, with an organiser—on average—spending Shs30 million on production at venues such as Lugogo Oval and Freedom City. But before that, there are legal and technical hurdles one must jump to stage a music concert.

orothy Nabunjo, an events promoter and talent manager, explains that taking legal precautions is especially of great utility. She also reveals that before tying down a venue, one ought to have Shs100,000 ring-fenced for securing police permission. They also need to be in close contact with the police, who usually run the rule over security at a venue, as well as carry out sweeps using bomb detectors at the Police K9 unit. The area police commander and anti-terrorism police also should be on speed dial.

The size of the venue and expected attendance determine the police bill as per Mugisha. Security for venues such as Lugogo Oval will always triple the fees that someone pays for Sheraton Gardens or an indoor venue. In all, security can cost an organiser Shs5 million.
Elsewhere, KCCA requires the organiser to present a formal letter requesting to hold the event, security arrangement, notification from the police by attaching a police letter, clearance from venue owners, fire control strategy and human traffic flow and control. Other requirements include first aid facilities, toilets with clear demarcation of male and female, waste management, noise management kept at 60 decibels, among others.

An advertising banner placed anywhere in Kampala attracts a daily fee of Shs10,000. Nema also gets anywhere between Shs100,000 and Shs150,000. The taxman also slaps organisers with an 18 percent charge in taxes after the concert.

Delicate balance

Past experiences show that staging a music concert is touch-and-go. Top Boy Entertainment records burnt its records in early November during its inaugural concert. The local events group hoped to make a kill when its so-called Big Show listed a who’s who, including Jamaican artiste Beenie Man, Nigerian Afro-pop star Ikuforiji Olaitan Abdulrahman alias Oxlade, among others.

The show, however, was deemed to have gone south on account of a low turn-up at the venue. To cap things, Oxlade reportedly refused to perform, thanks to unpaid dues.

“Promoters need to learn to do the right thing when booking artistes. You invite an artiste to come and perform at your event, you were given a booking agreement, which you duly signed, then you refuse to honour your own part of the contract and refuse to pay me as at when due,” Oxlade later said in a video posted to Instagram.

In a statement, the organisers revealed that they invested a whopping $300,000 (Shs1.1b) into putting together the concert. Losses were incurred, they added, because of counterfeit tickets, mismanagement and middlemen in the business.

Brave heartMugisha says organising music concerts is not for the faint-hearted. A lot rides on ticket sales. Factors outside one’s control such as weather can either make or break you. The stakes are even higher when dealing with international artistes, who don’t entertain voluntary pay cuts or rescheduling performances.

“You have to spend a lot of money on posters, social media influencers, newsprint, television and radio if you are targeting a huge audience,” he advises, adding that the load can be lightened when a deal is made with companies that offer prepaid advertising space in the form of sponsorship.
Recent figures released after the Uganda Bureau of Statistics re-based the economy show that the entertainment industry grew by 30 percent in 2016/2017. This worked to a contribution of about Shs141.5b from the entertainment sub-sector to the economy. Collectively, the services sector, where entertainment belongs, contributes Shs47.1 trillion to Uganda’s economy.

The suspect whose identity was vividly concealed by police for security reasons was arrested on Monday, January 02, 2022, in a joint operation carried out by security organs in the district. The suspect is a male juvenile between 15 to 20 years of age.

“The joint security team of Busoga East together with manpower from Kampala were able to arrest a man suspected to be a member of ADF rebel group,” ASP Asiimwe said.

Asiimwe Samuel the Busoga East Regional Police Commander(RPC) SSP confirmed the report in a police statement on Monday evening.

The Busoga RPC adds, “after arresting the suspect, a search was conducted in the house where he was residing and an assortment of exhibits that are related to bomb-making was recovered including small cut particles of iron bars, some wires, and other bomb-making materials.”

According to the residents who responded in the first place says that the suspect was brought to the scene in a vehicle by a security team before conducting a search in his rented room where bomb assembling items were recovered among other things.

Among the items recovered included small-sized pieces of iron bars which were in sacks, some wires, metallic boxes in which bombs are assembled, radio calls, and others.

Currently,  investigations from police indicate that this suspect is linked to a number of terrorism incidents that have been happening across the country especially attacks police installations and private security organizations where a number of guns have been stolen and some lives lost. 

However, Brayz Media has learned from anonymous sources that the suspect was one of the armed groups that attacked one of the police stations in central Uganda and he confessed to killing a police officer by shooting him twice in the chest. This was during an early interrogation conducted on Monday morning during the search exercise conducted.

After the interrogations, the police rescue team was engaged to enter a pit latrine where an exhibit of a motorcycle number plate was found. The number plate found in the pit was wrapped in a cloth resembling a UPDF uniform, was a half piece and security couldn’t recognize other figures.

Security personnel reportedly transported the suspect to Kampala after searching the area and gathering evidence-worthy materials. He was however brought along with a few other individuals to aid the authorities in their inquiries.

The chairperson Buseyi A village Mr. Waiswa Ismael says he was called at around 9 am for an operation. He says that the suspect was renting the house of Taligola Timothy, a UPDF soldier. It is reported that some security operatives were in the area two weeks ago while hunting for the said suspect.

“I was called at around 9 am before the operation at the house of Taligola Timothy. But recently like two weeks ago, security operatives came to my place with photos on their phones asking if we knew the person in the photos. We didn’t know him and I personally don’t know him, it’s my first time to see him,” Mr. Waiswa said. 

Ms. Namilimo Charity, another resident says that there is a need for LC1 chairpersons to have an eye for their villages and fight acts that may cause bloodshed in their areas and other areas nearby. She went ahead and commended the government of Uganda for always arresting the bad elements in the society. 

Muyingo Sayid, a member of LC1 executive says that “it’s very unfortunate that some landlords are keeping tenants even without presenting any identification document like National Id or Passport which can prove if they are good people. We have tried to request identification documents from tenants but our efforts are being let down by landlords.”

Meanwhile, RPC Asiimwe said that thorough investigations are ongoing before advising the general public to always be vigilant and report any suspected person to their nearest police station. He concluded by advising all landlords in those areas to introduce their tenants to relevant authorities for record keeping and follow-up just in case anything happens in the future.

Her boss, whose name has been withheld for security reasons, says that Namugabo disappeared with the minor from Bombo military barracks on Friday evening and switched off her known mobile phone numbers. As a result, the boss teamed up with the Bombo military barracks leadership and police to mount a search for the house help and the minor. The suspect who has since confessed to the crime blames her boss for delayed payment and maltreatment, which had forced her to sell off the child in revenge.

“My friends in the village convinced me that, they would easily get me market to sell off the child in Kidera town council and I would be ferried via lake Kyoga to a safe hideout in Serere district,” she said.

Kiira Regional police spokesperson, James Mubi says that Namugabo was tracked down through the police security cameras and GPS technology. He says that using CCTV footage, police first sighted the suspect at Kampala city-based Nakawa-Spears stage while boarding a commuter taxi en route to Jinja city.

According to Mubi, this prompted detectives to alert traffic police personnel at the different points along the Jinja-Kampala highway who kept inspecting commuter taxis looking out for the minor. Mubi says that four plain-cloth officers intercepted the suspect who had since pitched camp at the Mailo-Mbili roundabout along the Jinja-Kamuli road.

Mubi also says that police also managed to rescue 2½-year-old, Skyler Linda, who was reportedly kidnapped from her home in Budhumbuli West in Jinja City Northern division. According to Mubi, the minor went missing on December 8, 2022, while in the custody of her 16-year-old sister. Kidnappers threatened to kill the minor if her parents failed to pay a ransom of Shs 40 million.

According to Mubi, the minor was rescued from a commuter taxi along the Jinja-Kampala highway, following a tipoff from passengers who raised a distress call when they became suspicious of two middle-aged men who were seen with the missing girl. However, the suspects managed to get away when they realized the police had cornered them.

Mubi has advised parents and guardians to be cautious about the safety and well-being of their children since several evil-minded individuals are targeting to kidnap them for ransom or ritual purposes. Kiira region police now pride in the rescue of five children in one year. The other children are Bushira Mugoya who was rescued in December 2021, Divine Namuganza in February 2022, and Shafiq Ssemambo in November 2022.
