Taxi conductor Ismail Ssekidde, 40, has been remanded to prison after being charged over a fatal road crash that claimed the life of 20-year-old Shanita Nanyonga.
Ssekidde appeared before Buganda Road Chief Magistrate’s Court on October 22, 2026, over the July 19 crash near the Fire Brigade headquarters at Clock Tower along Entebbe Road in Kampala.
Prosecution alleges that he drove a Toyota Hiace taxi without a valid driving licence and knocked a motorcycle carrying Nanyonga, who died. He faces five charges under the Traffic and Road Safety Act, including causing death by reckless driving and failure to report an accident.
Ssekidde denied all the charges. The court denied him bail and remanded him until November 4, 2026. Investigations into the case are reportedly complete.
