Published on October 7, 2019, a Kampala court heard that Godfrey Wamala, accused of killing Ugandan singer Moses Ssekibogo alias Mowzey Radio, insists he didn't touch him during the brawl that led to his death at a Kampala club in February 2018.
Wamala admitted to being at the scene of the crime, the 'De Bar' in Kampala, where Radio reportedly met his death. He claimed to have intervened several times to stop a scuffle involving the deceased musician and one 'George Egesa', which broke out after one of them poured a bottle of whiskey on the table.
"The only thing I did that day during the brawl was trying to stop the fight," Wamala said in court.
He denied allegations that he beat anyone, fought, or lifted anyone like they said he lifted the deceased and threw him down. Wamala also painted a picture of a rowdy Radio on the day he met his death, stating that Radio started fighting with everyone who came near him, maybe thinking they were all his enemies.
According to Wamala, Radio was held by some 'gentlemen' around the table in an attempt to restrain him before they started pushing him out of the bar. Wamala claimed he didn't follow them as they were taking him out and instead moved out after receiving a call from the O.C Katabi Police station because the place was noisy.
