Popular Nigerian Music Producer Arrested In Uganda

Music producer Chisom Faith, popularly known as Rexxie, has been arrested in Uganda.

The artiste revealed this on Monday, March 11, 2024, via his Instagram page.

His post read, “I’ve been arrested at the Ugandan Immigration, please I need help.”

Although Rexxie did not disclose the reasons for his arrest or the charges brought against him, he stressed that his arrest was unfair. “This is so unfair! HELP HELP HELP!!! #UgandaFreeRexxie,” he said.

Rexxie’s arrest comes merely days after he proposed to his girlfriend, Innocent Chisom in Kenya, which he had happily announced on his Instagram account.

Following his cry for assistance, Rexxie has not made any additional posts to his social media.

Recall that the Grammy-award-winning producer is not the first or second Nigerian artiste to have a run-in with Ugandan law enforcement.

In 2020, singers Tems and Omah Lay were arrested for flouting COVID-19 restrictions.

At the time, the singers performed at a concert, which the government deemed as unauthorised and then arrested them. Both singers were detained for two days and then charged to court but were subsequently released.
