“Emikono Wagulu, Emikono Wagulu …” goes Coco Finger’s breakout song. This time however, it was the Police telling the Luo Ambassador to put his hands up.
The singer was held by Kisaasi Police in the wee hours of Tuesday morning. He was released at about 1pm the same day and he explained to us the circumstances under which he was held, together with his protégé Froton Muyingo.
“We were coming from Gaston Studios where I did my Private Number single in Kisaasi at about 3am and my car, (a Mitsubishi Challenger) got stuck in a trench. It was late and we couldn’t get a breakdown to tow us, so we decided to sleep in the car and wait for dawn,” Coco Finger told Matooke Republic.
“Unfortunately there was a robbery in the area with thugs breaking into people’s houses. One of the residents alerted the Police. But by the time the Police patrol arrived, the thugs had left, so they decided to take us to the station to interrogate us on what we were doing in the area and record a statement,” Coco Finger told us.
The singer who recently released a new track titled Stallion told us that Police released them at 1pm and added that they didn’t lock them up in the cells, but kept them in the interrogation room.
Bukedde TV reported that the singer and his protégé had been arrested after Police found drugs in their car, but Coco Finger distanced himself from the TV station’s story.
“Ebyo byabwe, bebamanyi gye babigye,” he told us, meaning that those are their fabricated stories and they know better where they got them from.”
