According to reports, Lwasa obtained a loan from Equity Bank intending to boost his various business ventures. However, it is said that he has failed to repay the money within the agreed period.

The bank has prominently displayed its contact information on the premises to facilitate the potential sale of the property.

Tavern Kick Club which was opened in 2015, is one of the most popular nightspots in Masaka.

Last year, Lwasa was remanded to prison due to his failure to settle a debt amounting to Shs18 million.

The debt was related to advertising services provided by BBS TV. Lwasa had placed advertisements with the media outlet but had failed to meet his financial obligations. However, he was released after settling the debt.
