Famous Nigerian musician, Omah Lay has cried out to Nigeria for his continued detention in police custody in Uganda.
The musician took to his Twitter page to make the urgent call. He wrote; “I’m in cuffs in Uganda right now with Tems. I’m just a singer trying to entertain, why am I being set up in Uganda.”
“I didn’t organize a show, I came on stage and saw teeming fans and sang to them.”
“Why is Uganda not letting @NigeriaMFA step into this? They have been trying to secure our release to no avail.”
