Events promoter Norbert Twizire, popularly known as Nobat Events, has been arrested and is currently being held at Nateete Police Station. Authorities say the arrest follows allegations of spreading malicious information about two of Uganda’s top singers.
Nobat is reportedly facing charges related to defamation and spreading false information targeting music stars Eddy Kenzo and Jose Chameleone. Details of the claims have not been fully disclosed by police.
According to sources, the promoter allegedly circulated misleading statements about the singers, sparking public debate and online discussions. The posts reportedly tarnished the reputation of the artists.
Police confirmed that Nobat’s arrest is part of a broader effort to curb the spread of false information that could lead to unrest or damage the credibility of public figures.
The arrest has attracted attention across social media, with some users expressing support for the police action while others called for careful handling of freedom of expression issues.
Nobat’s detention at Nateete Police Station is ongoing, and authorities have indicated that investigations are continuing. It is unclear how long he will remain in custody before being charged formally in court.
Eddy Kenzo and Jose Chameleone have not publicly commented on the incident, but their legal representatives are reportedly monitoring the situation closely.
Observers say the case highlights ongoing challenges in Uganda’s entertainment industry, where misinformation and rivalry sometimes spill into public spaces, affecting reputations.
Lawyers emphasize that those accused of spreading false claims could face serious legal consequences, especially if their actions are proven to harm individuals’ public image or career.
As investigations continue, the public awaits updates on the outcome of Nobat Events’ arrest. Authorities have urged all parties to cooperate while reminding citizens about responsible use of social media platforms.
