Embattled Nigerian Singers, Omah Lay And Tems have been reportedly remanded in Uganda’s Kitalya Maximum prison pending their appearance in court on Wednesday 16, 2020.
The duo has been a subject of discussion across the continent following their arrest last Sunday after performing a live concert in the East African country.
It is said that Omah Lay has been remanded in Kitalya prison, an infamous facility known for housing hardened criminals in Uganda. A tweet by one former Uganda social media influencer gave more light to the nature of the prison that can be likened to Nigeria’s Kikiri facility.
