Luzinda was last year interrogated by police over her nude pictures that were posted on social media – reportedly by her former boyfriend, Franklin Emoubor.
She was questioned by the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) over the matter, during which she denied being part of the crime.
Her nude pictures went viral on social media, igniting debate on issues like privacy and morality.
Minister Lokodo (pictured below) told New Vision that government is interested in the case and that they are doing all they can to have those involved brought to book.
“We are working with Interpol to see that Desire’s boyfriend Emoubor is brought back to Uganda because we need to interrogate him over the matter,” he said.
According to Lokodo, police are searching for him in the United Arab Emirates (Dubai) and in his homeland Nigeria.
“According to Desire’s statement, the man could be hiding in the above named countries. I asked Interpol to arrest him and bring him here,” he stated.
Section 13 of the anti-pornography law states that a person shall not produce, traffic in, publish, procure, import or promote pornography in the country.
The law states that a convict of the crime will be fined a fee not exceeding five hundred currency points or imprisonment not exceeding ten years or both.
Relatedly, Lokodo said they are also investigating local TV presenter Justine Nantume for allegedly producing and selling pornographic videos.
“As a ministry, we are doing our job and we shall do our level best to see that such crimes are reduced in the country.”
Last year police arrested and remanded local musician Jemimah Kansiime and producer Didi Muchwa for producing a pornographic video, a violation of the anti-pornography law.
