According to an exlcusive report on Red Pepper Uganda,
popular Nigerian dancehall and reggae singer, Patrick Nnaemeka Okorie
better known by his stage name as, Patoranking, was reportedly arrested
yesterday afternoon at the Entebbe International Airport in Kampala
Road, Uganda for failure to adhere to check in rules.
A source who was at the Airport yesterday disclosed to the publication that, "He failed to adhere to check-in rules and above all he had not secured his entry visa," adding that the singer thought he was 'too big' and he would receive VVIP treatment upon arrival.
“He was just told to remove his cap for security check-up but
he chose not to listen to instructions. He was denied entry and arrested
for disobeying lawful check in orders,” the source added.
It was gathered that Patoranking who arrived at the Airport at
around 4:00pm, was detained for over 7hours, and after countless times
of apologising and begging, he was later released and granted entry
visa.
It was further learnt that while trying to show that he is a known
celebrity, Patoranking first refused to accept entry visa saying he was
disrespected and harassed by immigration officers. He later coiled his
small tail and headed to Hotel Africana where he addressed journalists.
Patoranking was in Uganda to market his latest music album titled ‘God Over Everything’ which features Wizkid, Elephant Man, Olamide, Phyno, Sarkodie and more.
