Marysmats Matovu alias VJ Junior, was arrested on Tuesday evening and taken to CIID headquarters at Kibuli in Kampala on directives of Ethics and Integrity Minister Simon Lokodo.
Lokodo alleges that Matovu and his colleague Geoffrey Bbosa were arrested on grounds that they have for long been producing and circulating pornographic materials on CDs, flash discs and other devices across the country.
The two were arrested from their work places in the city centre and taken to Wilson Street Police Post after which detectives moved them to Kibuli where they spent the night.
While at Kibuli, they met Lokodo, who read them the Anti-Pornography Act, and showed them some of the pornographic movies he alleges that they produced or translated and have audio commentary done by VJ Junior.
“I have evidence beyond reasonable doubt to lock you up for damaging the moral fibre of this country. You are a producer, a trafficker, a distributor of pornographic material which has circulated throughout the country” Lokodo told VJ Junior.
He requested him to save time and resources, accept to become a State witness, then help Government to locate and apprehend other criminals of that kind who are still at large.
VJ Junior declined the offer and at the same time denied the allegations, but refused to speak about the allegations before he meets his legal team.
