Uganda Police have confirmed the arrest of three suspects believed to have been involved in the assault of a local music producer when a gang raided the home of local musician, Omukunja Atasera, in Makindye.
The three are accused of assault and malicious damage following an incident that occurred in Makindye earlier this month, when artist and TikToker Pest Vybes, alongside other people, stormed Omukunja’s home seeking revenge.
A few days earlier, Omukunja Atasera had appeared in a video issuing a warning to Pest Vibes, who looked beaten and bruised, against bringing the music industry to shame. In the same video, Omukunja also warned other artists, including Alien Skin.
Police now confirm that three suspects, namely, Sali Ethan a.k.a Unruly, Sali Isaac, and Sejongo Isaac, in connection with the viral video, are in custody.
