Mabirizi dragged the newly wedded Busoga Royals to courts of law, accusing them of offences ranging from Bigamy and Fictitious Marriage.
He claimed that King Nadiope’s November 15th, 2023 wedding with Queen Mutesi was illegal as he was already wedded to another woman in 2016.
The lawsuit also implicated His Eminence Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu, the Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, who presided over the Royal Wedding, and Queen of Buganda Sylvia Nagginda, a witness at the ceremony.
