The Uganda Police Force has confirmed that King Saha’s much-anticipated concert at Lugogo Cricket Oval will proceed as planned today, January 24, 2025.

This follows the suspension of preparations on January 23, 2025, due to safety concerns raised by a joint security team.

In a press release issued Friday, January 24, 2025, the police stated that a meeting was held involving event organizers, venue managers, and security personnel to reevaluate safety measures.

The decision to allow the concert to proceed was made on condition that certain restrictions are observed.

“Following this meeting, it has been decided that the event will take place as scheduled at the cricket oval; however, use of the pavilion will be strictly prohibited due to its structural condition, which poses a risk to revelers,” the statement read.

The police emphasized the importance of adhering to the agreed safety guidelines to ensure the event runs smoothly without compromising public safety.

This announcement comes as a relief to fans and organizers who were left in suspense after police stormed the venue on Thursday, halting ongoing preparations.

Reports from the site revealed that workers were ordered to stop erecting the stage, and access to the venue was restricted.

King Saha’s team expressed optimism about hosting a successful show after engaging with security officials to resolve the issues. The singer had earlier described the police blockade of his downtown fan mobilization as “unfortunate” but assured fans that the groundwork had been laid to deliver an unforgettable performance.

With the green light from authorities, excitement among fans has reignited as they gear up for the event. Security personnel will be present at the venue to enforce the new safety measures and ensure public order during the concert.
