Millions of Nigerians have taken to social media to demand the unconditional release of Tems and OmahLay after both fast rising artistes got arrested by Uganda Police for flouting COVID-19 rules.
Tems and OmahLay were booked for a concert at Ddungu Resort in Munyonyo, and indeed performed for hundreds of revelers despite an existing ban on music concerts in the country.
Their event raised a firestorm thereafter as local artists decried the inequality, citing double standards in the enforcement of the COVID-19 presidential directives.
As gathered by Eko Hot Blog,the rising stars from Nigeria have since been remanded until Wednesday when they will be produced in court for further hearing of the charges pressed against them.
In the wake of the development, initial appeals were made by notable celebrities to the Ugandan authorities to release the Nigerian musicians who had gone to perform in a publicly announced event.
