Nigerian Singers Omah Lay, Tems to Be Arraigned in Court Today

Nigerian singers Omah Lay and Temilade Openiyi alias Tems are set to be arraigned before the Makindye Division court today, The Tower Post has learnt.

The duo was arrested on Sunday 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 Covid19.

Earlier in march, Museveni banned all music concerts, closed down bars, banned fans at all sporting events and reduced the numbers of people who could attend church services.

But the Dungu event organisers Kasana Events deceived the Police that they were going to hold a brunch which ended up as a concert.

The events organizers are also under police custody.

By publication time, the Nigerian stars were being chauffeured to Makindye court where they will be charged.
