This sparked anger among some Ugandans and Nigerians who accused Ugandan authorities of malice, arguing that the trio had no case to answer since they were cleared to perform in the country.

Omah Lay and Tems had thrilled revelers in a concert that took place Sunday night at Ddungu Resort, Munyonyo.

Following the complaints from Ugandan artistes that have not been allowed to perform since March, Police arrested Omah Lay, Tems and other seven accomplices on Monday morning and were arraigned before Makindye chief magistrate.
