A group of eight members of the Crane Performers Group, who were arrested on April 6 for allegedly interrupting President Museveni speech as he was speaking at the marriage anniversary of former Prime Minister Amama Mbabazi have been released.
Mbabazi celebrated 50 years of his marriage to Jacqueline Mbabazi on April 6 at Kampala Serena Hotel.
Speaking to our reporter, the Deputy Spokesperson of Kampala Metropolitan Police (KMP), Luke Owoyesigire, confirmed the release saying all the people who were brought into custody by the Special Forces Command (SFC) were released on Saturday.
Owoyesigire, however, referred our reporter to the spokesperson of the SFC, Maj Jimmy Omara, for more information but Maj Omara denied having any briefs about the alleged incident.
As President Museveni was addressing Mbabazi’s guests at around 11pm, eight Crane Performers allegedly told him off in Runyankole for over speaking.
The words in Runyankole, according to security sources, were Rutabandana waturusya rugahamuzindaro loosely translated as “over speaker, we are tired, leave the microphone”. Senior security sources said the voices shocked the audience.
According to sources, immediately, security rounded up Crane Performers as suspects including the group’s director Gordon Kayovu.
