Shocking Video Emerges of Ugandan Media Personality Robin Kisti’s Arrest on Disturbing Drug Charge

In a deeply unsettling turn of events, Ugandan media personality Robin Kisti has found herself at the center of a storm after a shocking video of her arrest surfaced online. The disturbing footage, which has since gone viral on social media, captures the former NTV presenter being forcibly removed from her home in what many are calling a dramatic and humiliating public takedown.

The video shows Kisti dressed in a tight red dress, her expression a mix of confusion and distress as uniformed officers aggressively pull her through the black gate of her compound. Despite her visible resistance and pleas, she is dragged by several police officers into a white Toyota Noah vehicle waiting outside her residence. The incident, captured by a bystander or possibly even a plain-clothed officer, has ignited fierce reactions from fans and critics alike, many expressing disbelief that the once-celebrated TV star has found herself in such a damning position.

Adding fuel to the fire, another officer is seen following closely behind, carrying a large blue basin believed to contain the illicit substances that triggered the arrest. While authorities have yet to release an official statement detailing the specific nature of the drug charges, sources suggest that the arrest was the result of a weeks-long surveillance operation targeting illegal drug possession and distribution in Kampala’s upscale neighborhoods.

The visuals alone are powerful—and damning. Kisti’s once-glamorous public image now appears shattered by the reality of this arrest, with viewers calling the video both heartbreaking and disgraceful. For many, it’s a stunning fall from grace for a woman who was once a beacon of confidence and charm on Ugandan television.

A Dramatic Fall From Fame to Scandal

Robin Kisti rose to stardom as the vibrant host of Login, a popular entertainment program on NTV Uganda. Her charisma, American accent, and magnetic personality made her a household name and a source of inspiration for aspiring media personalities. Kisti, who had returned to Uganda after years in the United States, was seen as a refreshing face in the local entertainment scene. Her energy and relatability quickly endeared her to fans across the country.

But behind the scenes, things were far from perfect.

In recent years, Kisti’s public appearances grew less frequent, and whispers of personal challenges began to emerge. From social media spats to cryptic posts hinting at emotional turmoil, it became increasingly clear that the once-thriving presenter was battling inner demons. Some reports suggested that she was struggling to regain her footing in the media industry after returning from abroad. Others alleged financial troubles and personal issues had taken a toll on her mental well-being.

Though she occasionally attempted a media comeback through social media engagements and YouTube appearances, they never quite reached the heights of her earlier career. Still, even her critics couldn’t have predicted this dramatic twist—an arrest for alleged drug involvement, played out on camera for the whole world to see.

Many fans have voiced their sadness and disappointment. “She was one of the few female voices we looked up to. Seeing her like this is just devastating,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter). Others were less sympathetic, arguing that if the charges prove true, Kisti must face the full weight of the law, regardless of her celebrity status. “Being a public figure doesn’t excuse criminal behavior,” another user commented. “This is a wake-up call.”

Some media analysts believe Kisti’s arrest is not just a personal tragedy but a cautionary tale about fame, mental health, and the pressure to maintain a public image. “When the spotlight fades, many celebrities struggle with identity and relevance,” one local journalist noted. “Robin’s story is a painful reminder of how quickly things can spiral out of control.”

Authorities have yet to issue a full report on the incident, but insiders suggest more arrests may follow, indicating that Kisti’s situation may be part of a broader crackdown on drug-related crime among Kampala’s elite. If true, this scandal could expose even deeper issues within the entertainment and social circles she once thrived in.

Meanwhile, supporters of Kisti are calling for compassion, urging the public not to rush to judgment until full details are released. “She needs help, not humiliation,” one longtime fan posted. “We can criticize the actions but still extend empathy to the person.”

The future remains uncertain for Robin Kisti. If the drug charges are confirmed, she could face serious legal consequences, including imprisonment. But beyond the legal system, she will also face the court of public opinion—a space where redemption is difficult, and reputations are often irreparably damaged.

Regardless of the outcome, one thing is certain: Robin Kisti’s arrest marks a painful new chapter in the life of a once-adored media icon. Whether this moment becomes the end of her story or the start of a redemption arc will depend on the truth behind the allegations—and the choices she makes from here.
