Earlier this week, reports emerged regarding the arrest and detention of Ugandan singer Fik Gaza in Saudi Arabia.
Confirming these reports, a video clip surfaced on social media showing the singer under police custody, appealing for assistance.
In the video, Fik Gaza can be heard expressing his distress, stating, “I this side, these guys this side are so intolerant. Just know we are this side suffering.”
The circumstances surrounding his arrest remain unclear at this time.
Fik Gaza, known for his music career in Uganda, has faced challenges even before his recent detention.
Since his breakthrough in 2023, he has been involved in several altercations with fellow singers’ camps, leading to reports of violent confrontations.
The situation has raised concerns among Fik Gaza’s supporters and the music community both in Uganda and internationally.
Efforts to secure his release and clarify the reasons for his arrest are underway as various Ugandan musician bodies and sole artists have established their concern over Fik Gaza’s detention.
Authorities in both Uganda and Saudi Arabia are being urged to address the situation promptly, ensuring Fik Gaza’s well-being and respecting his rights during this challenging time.
The developments surrounding Fik Gaza’s arrest in Saudi Arabia continue to unfold, with many eagerly awaiting updates on his status and the resolution of the situation.
Fik Gaza becomes the second Ugandan artist to be arrested and detained in the Arab land after dancehall singer Beenie Gunter in February.
