Controversial Ugandan musician Alien Skin (Patrick Mulwana) was arrested today near Wankulukuku Stadium after a video surfaced showing him and his group Fangone Forest dressed in military fatigues during a flag ceremony. The arrest, carried out by military and traffic police, has shocked fans and sparked fierce debates online.
Eyewitnesses say Alien Skin and several associates were surrounded by uniformed officers near the Wankulukuku playground and taken into custody in the afternoon. Social media is ablaze with speculation, with many accusing the singer of misusing military symbols and disrespecting national institutions.
This is not Alien Skin’s first brush with the law. He was previously arrested in late 2025 in connection with the death of fellow musician Wilfred Namuwaya (Top Dancer), making this latest incident a continuation of his controversial public life.
Fans and critics are divided: some defend the artist’s right to creative expression, while others demand authorities strictly enforce regulations on military attire. Analysts warn the case could spark wider debates on civil liberties versus national security in Uganda’s entertainment industry.
Authorities have not released formal charges, but legal experts predict the incident could lead to criminal prosecution for impersonating military personnel. Alien Skin’s arrest adds another dramatic chapter to Uganda’s music scene, raising questions about the line between artistry and legality.
