The Prime Minister (Enganzi) of the Kingdom of Ankole Dr Willy Katatumba has asked police to investigate the manner in which a self proclaimed Omugabe of Ankole was coronated and appointed former Makerere University vice chancellor Prof Venansious Baryamureeba to a cultural cabinet.
katatumba has now asked police to arrest Umar Rubambasi Asiimwe Ntare VI, who is claiming royalty and the appointees.
Katatumba who is currently in charge of the Ankole Cultural Trust that oversees the ‘kingdom’, termed Asiimwe as a masquerader and his actions as dangerous.
“They [Asiimwe and group] have now ganged up with some high profile politicians and other misguided individuals to pursue their illegal activities and this situation could easily culminate in the destabilization of the region,” he says.
Campus Bee, by press time, was not able to get a comment from Prof Baryamureeba since he lies among the high profile politicians that Dr Katatumba wants inside the coolers for trying to distablise the peace in Ankole.
The throne claimant, Asiimwe, currently resides within Rwenzururu kingdom in Kasese and says he is the great grandson of the famous King Ntare V.
The Ankole Cultural Trust maintains that the rightful heir to the throne is Prince Charles Rwebishengye Barigye, son of the late Prince John Patrick Barigye who was named thus in a will before his father passed on in October 2011.
Rwebishengye is in the United Kingdom persuing education.
