Uganda Police Force spokesperson Emilian Kayima has said that musician and legislator Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu alias Bobi Wine, will not hold his Boxing Day concert as he had earlier planned.

“We shall be at Busabala beach to disperse revellers because we shall be protecting them. As far as I’m concerned, this concert wasn’t cleared because the first things weren’t done,” Kayima said.

He argued that Bobi Wine did not write to Police seeking permission and security for his concert that was supposed to happen today.

“As far as I’m aware, I don’t think the concert will happen unless it was cleared this morning. If Bobi Wine hasn’t written to Police about his concert, that’s not my issue because if he writes, we shall police his concert,” Kayima said during an interview with NBS TV.

Earlier today, Bobi Wine took to social media saying that security forces had raided his One Love Beach in Busabala, cordoned the concert venue and arrested his employees.
