Ugandan singer King Saha was on Tuesday evening reportedly abducted from his home in Kyanja following a dramatic security operation that witnesses say was punctuated by gunfire and left at least one person injured.
This came just hours after the singer had been moving around Kampala mobilising fans to attend his much-anticipated concert scheduled for Friday at Kololo Airstrip.
According to eyewitness accounts and videos circulating on social media, armed security personnel raided the singer’s residence before taking him away to an unknown destination.
