Police in Uganda arrested journalist Samson Kasumba on Monday night and detained him at Kira Road Police station in Kampala.
He was arrested moments after he co-anchored the Live at 9 news bulletin with Sheila Nduhukire.
Police spokesperson Fred Enanga later confirmed that Kasumba was being held over alleged subversive activities.
“He has made a statement and is cooperating with us,” said Enanga.
NBS TV later made a statement confirming Kasumba was nabbed by operatives outside the studios at 10:20pm.
