He is facing "cyber stalking" charges, according to the police case file seen by this website.
A video appeared Wednesday morning of Deno being bundled in a car by uniformed and plain-clothed police officers and whisked off to the Kampala Central Police Station.
It is reported that his arrest is connected to claims he has been posting on the platform about purported leaked private photos and videos of another Tiktok user, a one Nalunga who goes by the name Milky Bae on the platform.
Nalunga was over the past few days a victim of unfounded allegations that her nude images were leaked online by a beleaguered boyfriend.
Deno was one of the people who fueled these claims, telling his 110k followers that he had inside information about how the nudes were leaked.
He claimed that Nalunga had a fight with her boyfriend over Shs 9mllion that she sent him from abroad and that the boyfriend reacted by releasing the nudes.
Justice
On Wednesday morning, Nalunga shared a video of Deno being cuffed and whisked off by police. She added to the video, a caption “...You will feel it.”
She added, “You thought you were untouchable…trust me (you pressed the wrong button.)”
In a subsequent video, she confirmed that her family in Uganda had taken a decision to have Deno arrested.
"He woke up one morning and concocted a story that I have a sex video, and that I gave money to my boyfriend," she said.
"They ignored the money part and decided to spread that of the nudes. Eventually, my relatives decided that he should be arrested and arraigned in courts of law because what he did was very bad."
She added that she won't be in position to forgive Deno because the decision to have him arrested was taken by her family.
Police were also yet to comment on the arrest of Deno
