The fast-rising stars were on Sunday December 13, arrested together with their managers for holding an ”illegal concert” at Ddungu resort in Munyonyo where they gathered big crowds, contrary to President Museveni’s directives on the prevention of the spread of Covid-19.
Ugandan officials charged the pair with doing “acts that are likely to cause the spread of infectious disease, Covid-19,” and remanded them in prisons, sparking outrage which saw Nigerians took to Twitter to demand their release.
Good for them….
Welcome back home but next time try to obey rules and regulations of the country and other countries.
Nigeria is a place where we have law and we don’t uphold it, it’s a country where anyone can do anything without caution.
This will serve as a lesson to you and others that you should not violate any law that is being made wether in your country or other countries.
Congratulations to them and I hope you didn’t come home with the COVID-19 pandemic. Next time try to obey laws. Thanks to those who secured their release.
They taught It is Nigeria where laws are made but no one obeys them
Next time they should obey laws made by their country and other countries of the world
Going to gather large crowds by this time, when they have been told about this deadly virus is unfair nah and o think their arrest was duly in order
Well thank God they have been released
Next time they should take time
