DeboMacaroni: This is a Set-Up and we all must join voices together!! Did Omah Lay and Tems invite themselves to Uganda?? How do you arrest Nigerian Artistes in your country over a show that they didn’t organize?? Why didn’t they just postpone or cancel the show if shows weren’t allowed?

Chibuogwu Otuya: Ugandan 🇺🇬 governments wants to carry all the frustration put for OmahLay and Tems head…no be there fault say una Artists no gree blow naa #FreeOmahLay #FREETEMS

Glowboyriri01: The Ugandan tv presenters and radio presenters complaining about Omah Lay performing in Uganda are the same presenters playing 80% Nigerian music on tv and on radio and you still want Ugandans to be booked 😂😂😂

Sheilah C Gashumba:  So my brother-in-law just sent this to me from Uganda, apparently Omah Lay & Tems have been sent to a maximum security prison in Uganda till Wednesday & the Nigerian Govt isn’t doing anything about it.

Samuel Otigba: Can we RT & tag govt officials till they see this. #FreeOmahLay #FreeTems
