Reports from Jinja district indicate that singer Top K is under policy custody for allegedly defiling a minor
Top K real names Ronald Bamukisa was arrested on the 5th, February, 2023 at Green Summer bar and lodge in Jinja City Southern division after being suspected of having an under aged girl in one of the lodge rooms
This forced the general public to inform police and they came to arrest him
According to Kiira regional police spokesperson James Mubi, the suspect locked himself inside the bar, prompting the bar attendants to alert police officers, who forcefully opened the door and arrested him.
Mubi told the media that the suspect is still at Jinja central police station as investigations into the matter goes ahead by the criminal investigations department of the force
He said that the musician recruited many young girls from Kayunga and Jinja district to be his dancers and has been training them every day
“Many parents entrusted him with their daughters but they became suspicious of his activities when he started asking them to train overnight,” he said
He explained that allowing the girls to train over night without anyone watching over them tempted him to start sleeping with some of them despite being under aged
TOP K however denied the allegations leveled against him, saying that he never had sexual intercourse with any of the girls
Mubi added that he will be charged for defilement and human trafficking, a capital offence that is likely to force government to imprison him for 14years if found guilty by the High Court
