Here’s what you should be aware of:
- Fik Gaza is a Ugandan dancehall and ragga musician who began his professional musical journey in 2018. After leaving Fangone Forest, which was under the management of Mr. Patrick Mulwana—known as Alien Skin—he established what he calls the 'Gaza Empire'.
Local artist Shafiq Jjingo, also known as Fik Gaza, who was detained last Thursday alongside three other assistants, is scheduled to appear in court today.
Fik Gaza was arrested at Katwe Police Station alongside Najib Magoola, David Mutuba, who is also called Marvin Gaza, and Charles Zziwa, commonly known as Mzungu.
As stated by the Kampala Metropolitan spokesperson Patrick Onyango, the four suspects were scheduled to appear in court last Friday; however, their case took an unexpected turn.
Mr. Onyango stated, "They were scheduled to be in court last Friday, however, the State Attorney informed us to modify the charges from aggravated robbery to simple robbery."
He mentioned that they adhered to the directives from the State Attorney and are now proceeding to take him to court using the Katwe file related to petty theft.
Mr. Onyango stated, though, that there is an additional aggravated robbery case filed by the Wakiso police, who have asked the Katwe police to keep him detained until they can secure statements from him and his associates. "Although we could bring him before the court today, we are awaiting officers from Wakiso to arrive so they can question him and gather his testimony," he further explained.
Fik Gaza, Magoola, Marvin Gaza, and Mzungu were detained after a police intervention. According to Kampala Metropolitan Spokesperson Patrick Onyango, "In response to an increase in theft incidents across and beyond Katwe division, law enforcement carried out a focused action at Shafiq Jjingo’s home, also known as Fik Gaza. This led to the apprehension of these four individuals," he stated.
Mr Onyango also added that Fik Gaza’s residence was found to be harbouring some of the city’s most wanted criminals. During the operation, exhibits including pangas, military-like attire, and suspected narcotics were recovered.
