In a stunning turn of events, singer Jamal Wasswa and his vigilant management team apprehended the manager of his long-time impersonator. For years, this unidentified impersonator had duped event promoters, falsely claiming to be the renowned Abakyala Balabye singer.
Jamal Wasswa’s ordeal began in 2022 when he decided to take legal action against the impersonator. Determined to bring this charlatan to justice, Jamal embarked on a relentless pursuit to unmask the imposter. The decisive moment arrived when the impersonator was slated to perform in Mukono-Seeta, commanding a fee of Ugx 500K. A booking fee of Ugx 200K was handed over in advance to secure the performance.
However, the sharp-eyed promoter soon realized that the recipient of the money was not Jamal but a cunning impostor. Swiftly, the promoter tipped off Jamal’s astute management team, who devised a cunning plan to outwit the culprits. Jamal Wasswa and his team lured the impersonator into collecting their outstanding Ugx 300K payment just before the scheduled event.
As they arrived to claim their balance, the arrest operation was set into motion. The impersonator made a desperate attempt to escape, vaulting over the perimeter fence and disappearing into the nearby wilderness. Unfortunately for him, his alleged manager was not as fortunate.
In a bid to evade capture, the manager put up a fierce resistance but was met with force from Jamal’s team. This resulted in severe facial injuries for the manager, and ultimately, he was apprehended and escorted to the nearby police station, where justice would be served.
