After their arrest, Nigerians on social media revolted and Bebe Cool happened to be at the center of their scon. He, however, was the first to run out claiming to pull strings to have the two artists released from jail.
He posted pictures from the prisons and then later snapped images of release orders. The release orders appeared to be from Grade One Magistrate Okumu Jude Muwonge.
He tweeted, ‘’Great News!!! They are free @Omah_Lay and @temsbaby.’’
However, soon afterward, Bobi Wine also claimed it was his lawyers Anthony Wameli of Wameli and Co advocates who ensured the release.
‘’As I announced today, my lawyers joined in representing @Omah_Lay, Tems and the Ugandans charged. Delighted to see the illegal & unfair charges dropped! Evidence that voices matter, that PEOPLE POWER can force the people in power to act. We must never underestimate our potential!’’ Bobi claimed.
In the Tweet, Bobi Wine included a picture of a letter from his lawyers introducing themselves to court as legal advisors to the artistes. The letter doesn’t indicate, however, that the lawyers filed for the release.
Third party claims;
However, nother law firm also hijacked the wagon of self-proclamation claiming they are behind the release of the Nigerians.
‘’Proud to say that we at Messrs. Katende, Ssempebwa, and Company Advocates @katslaw1 @EmploymentKats have ensured the freedom of musicians Omah Ley @Omah_Lay and Tems (Temilade Openy),’’ they tweeted.
The real hero behind their release of Omah Lay and Tems, however, is still unknown since everyone is claiming to have a hand in it. We can only wait to hear from the artists themselves as they extend their gratitude to whoever it was.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
