Police have arrested more than 80 suspects from Bobi Wines’ Kyarenga concert which was held at One Love beach in Busabala yesterday.
The suspects reportedly detained at Kabalagala and Katwe police divisions were apprehended on accusations of engaging in offenses such as pickpocketing, drug smoking, and fighting and being public nuisances.
The Kampala Metropolitan police spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigyire, says police is to screen the suspects but applauded revelers for being peaceful and respecting the day’s security plan.
Prior to the concert, police had issued strict security guidelines for those who had plans of attending the event which was estimated to attract more than 50,000 people.
Meanwhile unconfirmed reports indicate that 43 motorcycles and seven cars were impounded for abusing traffic regulations on Entebbe highway while going or returning from the Kyarenga concert.
Kyadondo East MP, Robert Kyagulanyi popularly known as Bobi Wine urged the youth to prepare for the 2021 general elections in advance.
Bobi Wine said the youth should register in time to get their national IDs which is a vital document that qualifies one as a voter.
He said it would make no sense for youth to cheer up politicians at the fore front of political change when they are not eligible voters.
