Military Police were deployed on Friday afternoon at the residence of musician Alien Skin in Makindye.
According to Frank Mwesigye, an associate of Alien Skin and founder of Fangone Forest, the deployment was in response to intelligence suggesting that bouncers were planning to attack the musician’s home.
“This afternoon, bouncers from the Uganda Bouncers Association (UBA) held a meeting at Calendar in Makindye, where they organised themselves before marching towards Alien Skin’s residence,” Mwesigye posted on X.
“Their alleged intent was to destroy property and attack members of his group in retaliation for an incident in Nkuka, where they were reportedly assaulted. However, the military police intercepted them and dispersed the group before they could incite any chaos,” he added.
This incident followed an attack on Alien Skin’s home on Thursday, allegedly led by fellow musician Pallaso. The attack caused significant damage, though no injuries were reported.
During the assault, windows were shattered, the home was ransacked, and vehicles belonging to the Fangone CEO were vandalised.
The attack is believed to have been retaliation for an earlier altercation during which Alien Skin’s group reportedly assaulted Pallaso while he was performing at the Empere Festival the previous night.
