Ugandan singer and Kings Love Entertainment boss King Saha, real name Mansur Ssemanda, has condemned security agencies over his recent arrest, accusing personnel involved in the operation of using excessive force.
Speaking to the press, the singer said the incident went beyond his own arrest, alleging that some of his supporters were injured during the operation and that businesses and vehicles were also damaged.
King Saha said two supporters were receiving treatment at Mulago Hospital, with one reportedly facing the possibility of losing a leg. His comments have now placed fresh attention on what happened during the arrest — and the consequences he says followed.
King Saha did not mince words when discussing the actions of security personnel during his recent arrest.
The singer argued that the situation could have been handled differently and condemned what he described as unnecessary and excessive force.
“That action wasn’t called for, and we condemn anyone who led it because he did a very bad thing,” King Saha said.
He added that there were other ways authorities could have managed the situation without people being injured.
“I think there would have been a different way to handle or manage such a situation,” he said, reflecting on the incident and its aftermath.
According to King Saha, the impact of the operation did not end when he was taken into custody. He said some of his supporters were left with serious injuries and were receiving medical treatment.
“I have two patients at Mulago Hospital,” he said.
The singer claimed one of the injured supporters could require a metal implant in the leg, while another could potentially lose the limb.
“One, we’re not sure whether his leg will be cut off, and for that case I condemn the security forces,” King Saha said.
He questioned who would ultimately be responsible for the medical and other costs associated with the alleged injuries and damage.
“Now, all that damage, you think it’s going to be on whose budget?” he asked.
King Saha also alleged that security personnel fired shots during the operation, saying some of the people affected were ordinary members of the public.
“They came and fired shots at people’s children, and no one is following up on them in the hospitals,” he alleged.
The singer’s account is a serious allegation, and the claims about the circumstances surrounding the injuries would require independent verification.
King Saha also addressed his own arrest, insisting that he would have cooperated had he been formally summoned.
“I’m a law-abiding citizen,” he said.
He argued that authorities could have issued a summons instead of allegedly using force and causing damage to businesses and vehicles.
“It’s only a summons that you need here and I will show up,” King Saha said.
He added that being arrested itself was not his main objection, saying he was prepared to face detention if required.
“Even arresting me, I have no problem with it because I already jailed myself in Nakawuka. I’m used to staying alone,” he said.
But his most personal allegation came when he described what he says happened after he was arrested.
King Saha, whose real name is Mansur Ssemanda, is a Ugandan singer and the boss of Kings Love Entertainment.
His latest comments came while addressing the circumstances surrounding his recent arrest and the treatment of people he says were affected during the operation.
Rather than focusing only on his own experience, King Saha used the press appearance to raise concerns about the alleged injuries suffered by his supporters.
He specifically pointed to two people whom he said were being treated at Mulago Hospital.
The singer’s comments therefore involve two separate issues: his account of what happened to him after his arrest and his allegations concerning injuries sustained by supporters.
While King Saha has publicly described the incidents in strong terms, the information provided does not include an official response from the security agencies involved or independent confirmation of the allegations.
That distinction is important, particularly given the seriousness of the claims.
King Saha’s allegations matter because they extend beyond a dispute involving one public figure.
The singer says ordinary supporters were among those affected and that at least two people required hospital treatment. His claim that one person could potentially lose a leg raises particularly serious concerns about the consequences of the alleged operation.
His comments also raise questions about how arrests involving high-profile figures and their supporters are handled, particularly when large groups of people are present.
For King Saha, the issue is not simply whether he was arrested. He maintains that authorities had other options available and that the alleged use of force created consequences that could continue long after the operation ended.
The singer’s account now puts pressure on the relevant authorities to clarify what happened and address the allegations surrounding the injuries.
King Saha’s remarks also highlighted the longer-lasting impact he believes the incident could have on those involved.
“We’re now on the ground and all alive, but what do the memories say?” he asked.
That comment shifts attention from the immediate confrontation to what he says people may carry with them afterward.
His account includes allegations of serious physical injuries among supporters and an alleged assault against him following his arrest. Those claims remain allegations based on the singer’s account, but they underscore why the circumstances surrounding the incident are likely to remain a significant issue.
King Saha says the consequences should not simply be measured by the end of the arrest itself.
King Saha has now publicly condemned the security operation, while alleging serious injuries to two supporters and mistreatment during his own detention. What happened during the operation, and how authorities respond to his allegations, could determine the next chapter of the story.
