The High Court of Kampala has nullified Uganda Police orders of stopping singer Robert Kyagulanyi alias Bobi Wine from staging concerts.
In the ruling by Justice Esta Nambayo, the orders of stopping of the events managers Bajjo and Abitex promotions from organising the Kyarenga Extra concerts which were to be held at One Love Beach Busabaala, Lira, Gulu and Arua “are illegal”.
The two events promoters run to court and sued the Inspector General of Police and Attorney General for stopping Bobi’s events which led to a lose of over Shs200 Million Shillings.

In some instances, police though teargas canisters at revellers who had turned up for the events and scores were arrested.
In their suit, Bajjo and Abitex claim that they requested for security from police but in vain. Instead the IGP on the 19th April, 2019 issued a directive suspending all concerts by Bobi Wine.
The respondents in the case have been also ordered to pay costs.
