The UCU slay king who was arrested for allegedly stealing a smartphone from Casablanca bar in Mukono has finally broken the silence on the matter. Vuiton says that it was a simple misunderstanding and that he was arrested for something he did not do.
“I did not steal the phone. I was duped. I bought the phone from Mutaasa Kafeero Plaza but it was stolen. They tracked the phone and found me with it the following day because I was at Casa in Mukono with my friends. I called home and took them where I bought it and the issue was solved,” he revealed.
How it all happened
The source said that “Vuiton” asked for a ride from the fresher, to his hostel room, and that upon reaching the purported hostel, he asked the student to lend him his phone so he could call someone. Vuiton ran off with the phone. The Mubs student (names withheld) immediately rushed to Mukono police to make a report of the incident. He also alerted the bar attendants of Casa about the theft.
An exchange of contacts was done between the fresher and the bar attendant so that he (fresher) may be called if the slay king surfaced. He has been known to hang in Casa, Hive and Cayenne bars Mukono where similar concerns were raised.
On Friday of the same week, the attendant notified the fresher after he noticed Vuition step into the bar. The fresher travelled from Kampala to make sure a capture is made. He notified the police. At around 3am Saturday, he was captured and dragged to the police cells.
When asked about what the events surrounding the incident, the Mukono police post declined to comment, or release the police case number.
At the police station, one officer (names withheld) gave a lose explanation of events. In his comment, there was no case file in the names of the accused but rather a misunderstanding between Vuiton and the fresher, a dispute that was resolved without the need for statements to be made or a case filed.
“You know how young boys. They had their issues, small issues that do not need police.” According to police, the two simply had a dispute, or misunderstanding. Vuiton had taken the fresher’s phone as security for something he (fresher) had taken from him. Once the item taken was returned, Vuiton also gave the phone back, and he was released.
