Celebrated city entertainers will hardly forget Tuesday, following what befell them on that day.
Initially carried out on weekends, police for the first time conducted its midweek operation against drunken drivers (kawunyemu) and cars in Dangerous Mechanical Condition (DMCs).
One of such operation was in Industrial Area, home to various hangout joints like Club Silk, Guvnor and Play among others.
And here, many entertainers were netted among them renowned city DJ Slick Stuart who was found driving without a driving a permit. The DJ, who plies his trade with KFM, slept behind bars.
Similarly, musician Jamal Wasswa of the ‘Abakyala Baziira’ fame was also nabbed driving without a permit. He pleaded with the officers to let him free, saying he had left home in a rush and forgot to carry his permit. He was pardoned but the officers warned him against driving while not in possession of his permit.
Galaxy FM and Club Amnesia DJ Nimrod also survived jail by a whisker.
Following pleadings with police officers for close to an hour, he was finally let free. However, he has since taken to chiding his colleagues who slept in prison.
“When they read my name Nimrod they where happy to meet me coz they love my mixes and happen to be my big fans so we ended up charting for like 20 minutes and also took lots of selfies and also asked for my mixes. Mukulu Deejay Roger ngambila Jamal Wasswa and Stuart tukolenyo amanya.(Let them try to build their names),” he took to Facebook.
