Police in Kampala are hunting for local Musician Douglas Mayanja alias “Weasel Manizo” over assault.
Addressing journalists at the police headquarters in Naguru-Kampala, the Kampala Metropolitan deputy spokesperson, Luke Owoyesigyire said they have tried to arrest Weasel but in vain.
He noted that one of the people working in his premises called Baker Kaweesi, 26, came out alleging that he had been brutally battered and was admitted at Mulago National Referral hospital where he is currently receiving treatment.
“We have on several occasions gone to his (Weasel) home to arrest him but he is nowhere to be seen, and his known telephones contacts have since gone off,” he said.
Owoyesigyire stressed there is an allegation that the family could be hiding the suspect.
“We are calling on family members that this case will not be concluded by the suspect hiding. He should be presented to the court if they have him or he should report to police himself and record a statement for the file to be sent to the state attorney,” he noted.
He stressed that issues going around the media that his family is taking care of the victim, will not be enough to call off any allegation put against Weasel.
“The case can only be concluded with the state or in the courts of law,” he added.
