Singer Jose Chameleone Accuses Uganda Police Of Murdering His Friend

Singer Joseph ‘Chameleone’ Mayanja has blamed Uganda police for the death of his 23-year old supporter/friend identified as Ashiraf Jjala.

On Tuesday during the grand opening of Chameleone’s task force office in Mengo, Police were forced to fire teargas and rubber bullets to the ‘rioting’ youth who had gathered at the venue allegedly to cause chaos; this according to Police spokesperson Patrick Onyango.

And now the Kampala Lord Mayor hopeful claims that during that scandal, one of his supporters Viper Copper was terribly beaten and wounded by police which later caused his death.

“Our supporter Ashiraf Jjala popularly known as Viper Copper, aged 23 succumbed to injuries inflicted on him on Tuesday when police ruthlessly attacked and disrupted our activity as we peacefully and lawfully converged to open our office and launch the campaign task force” Chameleone noted through social media on Thursday.

viper had his life brought to an end at a tender age of just 23 years in what was clearly an avoidable situation that was poorly handled by overzealous police officers that are meant to protect lives.

Together with my team, we paid our respect to the family in Nakulabye to comfort the family and the deceased will be buried in Mbale, Chameleon wrote

The singer vowed not to take this lightly as he promised to hold a press conference on Friday (Today) to address their next course of action on this matter.

Although police say that they were trying to enforce the law because Chameleone had not followed the Ministry of health guidelines in the fight against Covid-19, the Mateeka singer insists that they had everything in order but police had its hidden intention on why they stopped him from launching his new office.
