Omah Lay: “I Was Treated Like A Common Thief While In Police Custody In Uganda”

Nigerian singer Omah Lay has spoken for the first time since his arrest and release in Uganda over flouting its covid-19 guidelines. Omah Lay and fellow Nigerian singer Tems was arrested on Sunday, December 13, 2020, for performing at an 'unauthorised concert' and disobeying COVID-19 protocols.

He tweeted on his page saying: "The past few days have been some of the toughest of my life that I wouldn’t wish them on anyone. Out in a new country with some beautiful people, the next thing I’m being treated like a common thief."

"First off I want to thank all the amazing fans that came out to see me in Uganda, the smiles on your happy faces that evening would be one of my happiest memories."

"Also I wanna clarify that putting you in harms way was never my intention! Before we came out to Uganda, the show promoters confirmed and proved to us they’d secured all the clearances which of course included Covid 19 compliance."
 
"At that point, my sole obligation became to make myself available to be taken to the venue and entertain, which I did in the full glance and protection of the Ugandan police."
 
"Secondly, to my mom, my family, my team, my fans, friends that I caused sleepless nights waiting and praying for me, I apologize for putting you through all that;"
 
"Big shout out to the musicians, the celebrities, fans (Again and again), my family, my friends, my Label, The Nigerian Mission in Uganda, The Presidency, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Madam Abike. Thank you all so much!"
 
Days after their arrest in Uganda for flouting the Covid-19 guidelines, Omah Lay and Tems returned to the country on Thursday, December 18. This was revealed by by the Nigerians in Diaspora Commission's Twitter page.
