Uganda Police has arrested and detained Nigerian singer Omah Lay for defying COVID-19 guidelines and staging a mega musical show.
The Singer on Saturday treated his fans to a powerful concert in a yet to be identified venue in Munyonyo, a high-end Kampala suburb.
Omah’s arrest has been confirmed by Kampala Metropolitan Police deputy spokesman Luke Owoyesigire who Sunday tweeted; “Nigerian Artist Omah lay has been arrested by katwe police , the manager of the venue one Dungu Ivan and the Events manager Prim Kasana are also in custody. More details to follow.”

A section of Ugandan celebrities condemned Omah’s actions and wondered who authorized him to have a concert in Uganda when government had banned any gathering of that magnitude.
