Fast-rising Nigerian singer, Omah Lay, and vocalist, Tems were on Sunday arrested by the police in Uganda over alleged violation of Covid-19 regulations.

However, Bobi Wine, Ugandan singer turned politician, has described the arrest of Omah Lay, in his country as an “act of shame by a corrupt regime operating double standards”.

The arrest has raised intense controversies on social media platforms with many Nigerians, including celebrities, calling for their release from the custody of Ugandan police.

Taking to his Twitter page to join the call for Omah Lay’s release, Wine said, “truth is Omah Lay‘s arrest isn’t about COVID. No! It’s an act of shame by a corrupt regime that operates on double standards.”

“He obtained a work permit & performed under police protection! Why arrest him? This as pro-Museveni artists stage street concerts unmolested!”

Omah Lay and Tems have been remanded in police custody until December 16, 2020.
