Oluwa na him comfort me.”
Lukowoyesigyire also stated that they would be sending their artists “Ykee Benda” to Lagos to perform in a concert. He wrote:
“We shall also be sending our artists to Lagos to have concerts there like Ykee Benda besides the omah lay concert held here.”
Nigerians have reacted to Omah Lay and tems arrest, asking the Uganda police to release them immediately as they have done nothing wrong. See tweets below:
On the other hand, rumor has it that the Uganda police has released Omah Lay, but we are yet to confirm it. He is, however, yet to release a statement concerning his release.
The question going around on social media is, if Omah Lay is said to be out of Uganda police custody, how about tems?
