Kampala metropolitan police last evening broke silence on why it foiled the planned concert of the Nigerian artiste Michael Adebayo alias Ruger.
The “Bad Man Looking Good in Dior” hitmaker was supposed to perform at Dungu Resort but Police deployed highly after organizers failed to meet the basic security and safety measures.
Luke Oweyisigire, the Kampala Metropolitan Deputy Police Spokesperson said in the statement that the organizers of the event were given guidelines to follow, like having a traffic plan for the revelers, who are to attend the show, putting in place access control measures, and liaising with the territorial police but failed.
“We also asked them to inform us about the number of revelers they expect to attend, having an ambulance in place from a recognized hospital, putting in place measure of crowd control, and also obtaining clearance from the venue owner and local authorities. Unfortunately, they have failed to meet the guidelines prompting us to stop the event to avoid incidents that can lead to accidents and safety breach,” reads part of the statement,
“We advised anyone, who intended to attend the February 12 event at Dungu resort Munonyo, not to do so to avoid any inconveniences,”
Oweyisigire said that their territorial police commanders had been informed accordingly, “to ensure no planned concerts are held in insecure environments,“
“Any inconveniences that could have been caused are highly regretted. We look forward to better coordination, cooperation, and compliance with organizers of the events in future,” the statement concludes.
