Minutes after organizers of the Kenyan based Kigeugeu star Jaguar’s concert finished installing relevant equipments to make the show an electrifying one, police on patrol stormed the venue at hotel Sports View at around 11 pm and ordered the deejay to stop music.
The two police officers at the rank of chief inspectors ordered the hotel manager to cancel the event. However, by the time the show was called off, no one had paid entrance fees.
IGIHE.com approached the Police officers to inquire about their decision. “We are not answerable to you at all so mind your own business,” said the police officer at a rank of a chief inspector.
The hotel manager allegedly an ex Police constable claimed that he wasn’t sure if the organizers had requested the police administration to hold a concert till dawn.
“This hotel manager is one of them he can’t assist us. We don’t have a choice but to wait for tomorrow (today) at the stadium, “ remarked one of the organizers only identified as Karis.
“Hey guys the show is over start packing everything,” he ordered the deejay.
Jaguar will perform today (Saturday 24th) at Petit Stadium starting from 4pm to around 9pm.
Meanwhile, Kigali City Council (KCC) has enforced a ban to all concerts going beyond midnight including even the gospel concerts.
While police stopped jaguar’s concert opposite the venue there was an ongoing gospel concert at Amahoro National Stadium which according to participants ended at around 3am.
Police spokesman Chief Supt Theos Badege has on frequent occasions cautioned against late night concerts arguing that they tend to disturb those uncomfortable with loud music while resting.
The ban further restricts alcohol consumption to people below 21 years.
