Tems
On Monday, Tems emotionally took it to her social media to mark a her 1year memory ever since she was detained in Uganda for flaunting Covid-19 protocols.
Tems recalled the touching scenes she experienced as she was jailed in Uganda.
The “Try Me” crooner also thanked God for always seeing her through such hard times.
“This very day Last Year, I was sitting in prison in Uganda bonding with women and kids. I almost can’t believe the things I’ve seen so far. All I can say is God is too awesome and He will always have the last and final laugh,” reads a tweet from Tems.
On December 13, 2021, Tems, fellow Nigerian musician Omah Lay and a one Muyiwa Awomiyi were arrested by Uganda Police for performing at an ‘unauthorized concert’ that bleached COVID-19 protocols.
The two were arraigned before court on charges of “Negligently doing acts likely to spread an infectious disease, Covid-19” and remanded to Kitalya government prison where they spent some days.
However, they were later released on bail after successful negotiations between Uganda and Nigerian government.
Tems and Omah Lay were later airlifted back to their home country.
“I’m truly saddened those attendees could have possibly been exposed to covid-19. I would never have participated I had even the slightest knowledge that the event would not meet standard operating procedure and put Uganda citizens at risk,” Tems stated on her social media upon her release.
“The past week has been difficult but eye-opening for me. While I was being detained I met some amazing women and children, and my eyes were opened to the strife and hurt a lot of women are going through,” she added.
Tems later cracked a social media war against Ugandan singer Bebe Cool whom she accused of conniving with the Police to see them jailed.
