By Oluwapelumi Oluwayemi

Renowned Nigerian record producer and songwriter, Ezeh Chisom Faith, popularly known as Rexxie Pondabeat, has made a distress call for assistance following his detention in Uganda.

Taking to his Instagram account, the music producer disclosed his arrest by Ugandan Immigration authorities and appealed urgently for support.

Expressing his dismay over the situation, Rexxie refrained from providing specific details about the circumstances leading to his arrest.

In a plea for aid, Rexxie emphasized the need for assistance, portraying the incident as unjust and calling out for help from his followers and the public at large.

In 2020, Omah Lay and Tems alongside her manager  were arrested and charged to court and subsequently detained in prison in Uganda for making an appearance at a concert held in the country at Speke Resort, Kampala, despite COVID-19 social distancing regulations.

They were charged with “Negligently doing acts likely to spread an infectious disease” C/S 171 of the Penal Code Act.

However, Omah Lay, who has been active on social media while in Police custody, also accused the Ugandan government of blocking Nigeria’s interference.

“Why is Uganda not letting @NigeriaMFA step into this? They have been trying to secure our release to no avail,” Omah Lay tweeted.
