I was Treated Like A Common Thief – Omah Lay Stings Ugandan Authorities

Upon reaching home, Nigerian artiste, Stanley Omah Didia aka Omah Lay has accused Ugandan authorities of treating him like a common thief.

Omah Lay, Tems and other accomplices were arrested on Monday, charged with the offense of neglect act likely to spread of infectious disease for performing at an illegal concert that was organised at

Ddungu Resort, Munyonyo on Sunday night.

Omah Lay, Tems and seven others were remanded but after the intervention of Bebe Cool, Nigerian High Commission, the state dropped the charges and they were released on Tuesday.

After jetting in Nigeria last night, he thanked musicians, the celebrities, fans, family, friends, his Label and The Nigerian High Commission in Uganda but forgot Bebe Cool who fought tooth and nail to have him released. He says he was treated like a common thief.

“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”

The 23-year-old singer has decided to put the past behind him but blames the event organisers (Kasana Events’ East Meets West Ug) for not being honest enough.

He said he is intention was not to harm the revellers who turned up in big numbers.

Since Covid 19 struck, the art industry have been hit hard and in most countries, gatherings are not allowed.

Earlier this week, word had started spreading that Concerts and entertainment centers were opened but the Ministry of Health came out and dismissed the rumour.

The Ministry says only Cimena’s were allowed to open but must observe the SOPs.
