Musician Mathias Walukaga was last night rescued from the Jaws of death at Lambu landing site in Masaka.
The singer who had staged a show only for its popularity to overwhelm his team decided to hike the tickets by an extra 3,000shs. Little did the kadongo kamu singer know that this was receip for disaster.
Although some of the fans had protested the sudden hike in ticket fees, many managed to arrange for quick cash and made their way to the venue.
Trouble started when many of the advertised singers were not showing up despite chants from the audience. Fans were angry that they were made to pay more for nothing.
It is at this time that Mathias showed up on stage only to be welcomed by stones, bottles and chairs that were being thrown on stage by angry partiers.
They demamded for artistes that had been advertised some of whom were abroad in London doing other shows.
At this point one thing led to another and before long, Mathias was being clobbered by angry partiers. They broke chairs, destroyed car windows among other things.
Police at the venue couldn’t calm the situation which prompted a team member from Mathias’ camp to call Police from Masaka.
When they arrived at the scene, sanity was restored but the damage had already been done. Luckily, Mathias was saved along with his fellow singers and team members.
We will keep you posted.
