A man suspected to have killed Moses Ssekigobo who was widely known by the stage name Mozey Radio has been arrested by police.
Godfrey Wamala alias Troy is alleged to have beaten Radio, while at De Bar, a popular hangout in Entebbe town causing head injuries that later led to his death at Case Hospital where he had been admitted
According to Katwe Division Police Commander Frantile Lwamusaayi, the suspect was arrested on Sunday night in Kyengera, Wakiso district where he was hiding at a friend’s home.
He was then taken to Katwe police station to record a statement before being transferred to Entebbe police station where the offence was committed.
The officers, who participated in his arrest said he confirmed to them that he was with Mowzey, David Washington Ebangit, Pamela Musiimire, one Hassan and others on the fateful day.
Ten days after being beaten into a coma, Mowzey Radio died on Thursday morning at the intensive care unit at Case Hospital in Kampala. He was buried on Saturday.
The bar has since been closed by the Entebbe Town Clerk.
“Following the gruesome incident of recent, that has led to the death of one of our top musicians aka Mozey Radio that happened in your bar, council within the powers versted in it to regulate and control businesses within her area of jurisdiction, has closed your bar with immediate effect,” the Town Clerk said in a statement.
Radio was reportedly knocked out cold by assailants last week in Entebbe after an altercation at Da Bar. Police have since made several arrests as they seek answers.
No one has yet been charged but a video circulating on video shows an incident that is said to be what happened. Those who know De Bar say the video is from another location and not related.
Pathologists at Mulago said, “Radio was badly hit on the head which caused a brain damage hence his demise.”
Among those first picked up by police soon after the incident was George Egesa, owner of the bar from where Mowzey was assaulted and then admitted to Emmanuel Clinic in Entebbe, transferred to Nsambya then to Case where hours later doctors conducted a brain surgery
