The Zimbabwean man, David Kaseke, who made headlines by posting that he was an agent trading in human toes, appeared in court on Tuesday.
According to reports from Zimbabwe, Kaseke dismissed the claims as a harmless joke, saying he was drunk when the video was recorded.
In the video that made the rounds on social media, he claimed that the joining fee is $200 (about Shs745k) while toes cost between $25,000 (about Shs95 million) and $75,000 (about Shs280 million).
The court charged him with criminal nuisance. The state says his conduct interfered with the comfort, convenience, and peace of the public as he had mischievously raised a false alarm.
