It was 9pm and lots of people were still stuck in the long queues both at the VIP area and the general gate at Cricket Oval Lugogo on Friday evening trying to get access to Sheebah’s Neyanziza show. Some had tickets while others wanted to buy at the gate.
The police and several bouncers were forced to disperse the crowd, beating up those that were hesitant to leave. Many with tickets in hand pleaded with the law enforcers but their requests fell on deaf ears.
“We are not allowing anyone in at this moment whether you have a ticket or not. Just go back home,” an officer was heard saying.
Those who defied the order were beaten up and whisked away to the nearby police van that was stationed outside the venue.
An officer we managed to speak to told us that the venue was filled to capacity, and letting in more people would cause havoc.
Some people blamed the police for the chaos, saying they failed to control the big numbers.
There was chaos at both gates and it took the writer 30 minutes to find his way into the venue, despite having a media pass and a wristband.
