The Kyabazinga of Busoga and his wife, Inhebantu Jovia, have welcomed their third son, according to Daily Monitor. The birth fell on the king's own birthday, giving the royal household what the outlet described as a double celebration.
The child has been named Prince Nadiope Ezra Josiah, according to Mbu. Nilepost also reported the arrival of the king's third child, while NewVision.co.ug covered the news as a new prince joining the Busoga Kingdom. Pulse Uganda reported that the couple's third son was born on the king's birthday.
The announcement drew coverage from several Ugandan outlets, with the birth framed as a family milestone for the Kyabazinga and the Inhebantu. The reports identify the newborn as the couple's third son and give his full name as Prince Nadiope Ezra Josiah.
The available reports do not include further details, such as the place of birth or any statements from the royal household or kingdom officials. Daily Monitor's headline framed the occasion as a double celebration, linking the birth to the king's birthday.
