HIGH COURT RESTRAINS SHEIKH SHABAN MUBAJE AS UGANDA'S MUFTI

The High Court in Jinja has restrained Sheikh Shaban Mubaje from calling himself the legitimate Mufti of Uganda. An argument raised by Counsel Erias Luyimbaazi Nalukoola, the  attention of Court was drawn to the orders that were directed by Hon Lady Justice Alexandra Nkonge Rugadya. The Acting Principal Judge on the 22nd December 2023 said Sheikh Mubaje had been already retired in Public interest by the General Assembly that sat on the16th / 17th December 2023 and subsequently His Eminence Sheikh Abdallah Ssemambo was sworn in by the UMSC General Assembly as the Acting Mufti of Uganda. Logically, this is the status quo that was ordered by Court.
