Sencere speaks out
Sencere earlier today, told Pulse Uganda that she had received a lot of backlash online and from some media outlets since she first came out with the allegations last weekend.
“I have seen a lot of bloggers posting uncoordinated reports, digging up posts from as far back as the Covid) lockdown, which was fake news because someone tried to set me up while using a different number,” she said.
“People are saying a lot… they are accusing me of chasing clout and trying to make a name off of him (Chameleone), but I do have proof..."
