“At around 12:46 am, Police received a disturbance call from residents of Luwafu zone , that a group of unruly people had gathered at the home of one Pallaso. Our team responded to the scene and found the allegations to be true,”Owoyesigyire said.

The police mouthpiece explained that at the scene, a group of over 30  people had gathered at the singer’s home and were  playing loud music and  drinking  as well as not  the presidential guidelines on the spread of Coronavirus.

He noted that when police officers reached out to the singer to reign on his group to reduce on the volume of their loud music and desist from such gatherings, they became violent.

“While still addressing them the group became violent something that prompted Police to arrest Pallaso  and Henry Kasozi . However during the arrest of Kasozi ,  Pallaso whisked away with Police handcuffs on him.”
