The Republic of Uganda has withdrawn the charges filed against Nigerian Artistes, Omah Lay and Tems for alleged breach of COVID-19 protocols.

In addition, an order has been made directing the immediate release of the artistes from custody.

It was stated that the charges against Muyiwa Awoniyi, Stanley Omah Didia, Temilade Opaniyi “has been withdrawn against them vide Withdrawal Form Serial No, 4292 dated 15th December, 2020”.

Consequently, the Prison authorities were directed to release them from custody “forthwith unless held on other charges”.
