• Singer jailed for failing to find a direct flight to Africa

A Ugandan dancehall singer by the name of Vampino has narrated his horrific experience at a Jamaican prison. The singer also thanked Bobi Wine for facilitating his release from prison.

According to the singer he was jailed for failing to find a direct flight to Africa.

The reason I was put there is because they had no direct flight to Africa so they threw me in jail instead of a hotel. God…I love you all am safe. Good I had finished what took me out there.

The singer had taken to social media to plead with his fans to help get him out.

“Uganda my peeps help me and contact the embassy am locked in a Jamaican cell in Montego bay. Munyambe. (I) have no help here,”

The singer said he was in a room with seven thugs, some on murder, rape, and gun possession charges.

“I reached at a point I lost hope in a room of seven guys with piss and sh*t next to where I put my head. Nobody knew then what’s happening and they took all my belongings."

Adding;

“The message I sent a guard who was convinced by the jailed thugs some on murder charges, rape, gun cases, theft. They told him “help di African he is innocent”, that’s when I called you all out nga mpulila am at a dead end.”

After being freed, the singer thanked singer cum politician Bobi Wine;

"I write this with tears of joy coming from my eyes. My Ug people I can’t thank you enough for being so patriotic and concerned about what’s been happening.

H.E Bobi Wine thanks a lot brother. You’re indeed a people’s person. You took time to find out where I am.

My wife Lydia Namakula Swe and manager Kojja LuCha and Pejay Boaz thanks a lot guys. Am now being escorted on a flight out of Jamaica Montego bay.
