He said:<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI didn\u2019t get Tems and Omah Lay arrested in Uganda. It\u2019s very difficult when the internet pick on story in a direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cI was sleeping around 3am when a friend called me to inform that the Nigerian artistes had been arrested. I got the details from him and then I started making my calls.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cSo, by 6 O\u2019clock in the morning, I went to the police station and spoke to the DPC, the head of the police station and he confirmed that they had arrested Tems and Omah Lay. I told him, \u2018Why did you go to arrest the artistes because the artistes are not in charge of the show. The president has given an allowance of 200 people but the artistes don\u2019t control the number of attendees. So why arrest them?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cThe DPC told me that I should go and speak with his superior. But as I was speaking to the DPC, the show promoter saw me and started saying, \u201cThat\u2019s the guy. That guy is the reason that you are in prison. The promoter was accusing me of facilitating the arrests because two weeks before that event when they started advertising it, the artistes in Uganda, we were totally mad at the government because we\u2019ve been shut down from performing for over a year and half.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cNot even I, who is pro-government could even perform for even a 100 people. So, everyone was tweeting. We as artistes decided to tweet to the government so that they can allow us to do small gigs. We were saying if you allow Tems and Omah Lay to perform in Uganda, then allow us to do gigs, too. So because it\u2019s Babe Cool, my tweets went viral.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWhen I went to the police station, I only put in words for the two artistes who were arrested. The show promoter was also arrested but I didn\u2019t appeal for her release which didn\u2019t sit down well with her. I left the police station to the head office to meet with the big boss and as I was waiting, I saw on my phone that the Nigerian artistes had been arraigned before the court. I made a call to the DPC and said, \u2018I just left, I\u2019m waiting for the big man to come so that we can discuss and you went behind me and took the artistes to court?\u2019 He explained to me that when I left the promoter lady made a mess and was bragging about how her mother had connections to the president.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Babe Cool said he was the one who worked tirelessly to secure the release of Tems and Omah and not Nigeria\u2019s ambassador as reported in some sections of the media.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Years after Tems accused Ugandan singer of being behind her and Omah Lay\u2019s arrest, he has denied the allegations.
