The Nigerian trio of Stanley Didia, aka Omah Lay; Temilade Openyi, alias Ms Tems; and Muyiwa Awomiyi have been remanded in a prison in Uganda.

Omah Lay was remanded at Kitalya prison and Ms Tems at Kigo prison.

They were charged in a magistrate court in Makindye, Uganda, on Monday for “negligently doing acts likely to spread an infectious disease C/S 171 of the Penal Code Act.”

The Ugandan police said earlier plans of releasing them on police bond were suspended after their casefile was sanctioned by the Office of the DPP.

They were tly charged with four other Ugandans and remanded till Wednesday.

The crew got arrested in Uganda by Katwe Police after performing at a concert in the country. They were arrested alongside the manager of the venue one Dungu Ivan and the Events manager Prim Kasana.

Confirming the arrest, Luk Owoyesigyire, the Assistant Superintendent of Police and Deputy Police Spokesperson, Kampala Metropolitan Police in a statement released on Twitter, wrote;

“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.

“Temilade Openiyi Aka Ms Tems (Artist) also been arrested with her manager Muyiwa Awomiyi.”

According to the Ugandan news outlet, The Independent, the organizers of the event disguised the show as a lunch and dinner event but later on, at night started inviting artists to perform.

The concert took place on Saturday after the singer and organizers were warned from performing at the concert.

The concert contravenes President Museveni’s directives on social gatherings in a bid to curb the spread of COVID-19.

The president placed a ban on all music concerts, closed down bars, banned fans at all sporting events and reduced the number of people who could attend church services.

A country where the law is above the people.

That energy Nigerians are using to campaign for the freedom of Omah Lay or whatever his name is, they should channel that energy to campaign for the freedom of the students abducted in Katsina state.

Omah should face the wrath of the law to serve as a lesson for others.

He thought Uganda is Nigeria.
Naira whatever tried that nonsense in Nigeria by breaking COVID-19 protocol and was celebrated.

Uganda no be Naija.

Uganda just won my heart. Omaley or what ever his name is should be dealt with. Infact he should be remanded in prison with hard labour. Stupid boy. This useless ogogoro drinking and drug sniffing touts called Nigerian yeyebrities feels the world revolves around them. I pray he remains behind bars for a year in Uganda. Idiot boy.

My wish is for him to spend this Christmas in that prison for that he can learn. Most Nigerians only learn things the hard way.
Their phones should be collected and prison garments given to them to wear.
Imagine inside the court he was busy tweeting rubbish on Twitter.

Funke of Jenifer diary was asked to do community service here in Nigeria.

What are you saying

What was Naira Mad-man asked to do?

Mrquote:

What do you mean once u step out of this country anything that happens to you overseas you country suppose to come to your aid. And i dont knw why you are saying he break the law he was paid to be there and now the government instead of arresting the people that paid him they now hold him able for what reason.

I will pay you to go and assassinate someone ok. Don't worry you won't be arrested if caught. I will be the one to be arrested since I am the one who'd pay you for the assassination.

Good for them.

Maybe this will be a lesson to rule breakers.

Uganda isn't Nigeria where lawlessness reign

The vegetable, the midget, Lauretta, Bashir, Garba, Abike have totally failed Nigeria. I'm sure if these young men had names like Sulaiman or Abubakar these clowns would have taken the issue seriously and would have pleaded with the Ugandan authorities for their release.

Uganda

I said Uganda
..arrested not one but TWO of our "biggest" artistes of the year ... and the Nigerian government cannot intervene. Those baboons we call leaders have openly declared youths as enemies of the state. They dont give a fucck about y'all..

Imagine if this happened to a citizen of any western country? Just imagine..

Our government openly showed the world that Nigerian lives do not matter.. now Uganda is ... Chai

See ehn, Nigerians, we are on our own o
We have no country.

Did your leaders tell you to be going about breaking laws that they will come to your aid? Is that what you elected them for? To come to your aid whenever you break the law?

The same thing Naira Marley did in Abuja, joked about it and got a light slap on the wrist.

Where there is no law, there is no sin
Where there is no sin, there is no law

Why hin break rules? 147 years for Omah lay and tems.

Why are the organisers walking free?
It won't last. They gave them the and even allowed their plane to land with full police escorts but because of internal fights among the organisers belonging to the opposition government and the local authorities and artistes sponsored by ruling government officials, they are the scape goats.
Even their citizens have been firing them since because all of them belief it is a political. Time will tell. It can only make the boy stronger. Are they even practicing social distances in the court I saw today? Hell no, they are just unfortunate to be caught up in the fight.
Their colleagues should rise and fight for them, not the useless leaders we have here. They will soon free them after using them to catch cruise.

Afamed:

Keep quiet. How do you know the organizers are working freely. Same lazy Nigeria mentality.

I wanted to give you lecture on what happened before but when I saw your moniker, I ed that sense dey far from yu. You are lost totally like c..o..w...in a jungle. Same Uganda that have been up and down with crowds campaigning for elections coming up next month without observing covid rules. Some of you are just too dumb to reason well. Why? You don't know these is politics in action.

Wooow, this is serious

E be like say Uganda police sha wan popular. How you go escape prison for Nigeria con end up for Uganda prison.. They should file for extradition ASAP

The only positive i learnt from this is that ugandan does not condone breaking of laws.
Assuming this happened in Nigeria. Hmmm!

Shame though, even if there were no laws, now isn't the time to hold concerts. Omaha Lays management team goofed on this one. They didn't consider their clients health too.

There's talk of a second wave. With all this paparazzi and publicity, I hope the guys don't get exposed to the vid

This is bad. The Ugandan gov should do something about this

Sad indeed

But on other side it shows their laws are for all not just for a part of the country

Okay

Good

Scape goat

So they violated the Covid guideline... and they are answering to the law...
Is that an issue?
Uganda isn't Nigeria!!

Even Ronaldinho way break law go jail..

This nairaland ehn! Some mofos go wan Dey behave like say them dey intelligent. But deep down them dey very stupid.. same Uganda that did presidential rally.. but because of jealousy dem arrest fellow country man. You dey here dey type nonsense.. yeyeyeye If na jazzy dem born then well to try this shit... half of this useless nairalanders are senseless. Foooools

Some ppl just dey reason with their anus ....aye elomi ti taa
