Ugandan Singer King Saha clears his name after viral claims tied him to the vandalism of Cephco’s luxury car in Kampala.
Ugandan simger King Saha has publicly denied any involvement in the recent vandalism of businessman Cephco’s luxury vehicle in Kampala.
The “Nkutuse” hitmaker issued a formal statement through his legal team following social media speculation that linked him to the incident.
The controversy began when CCTV footage circulated online showing unidentified individuals damaging a high-end Mercedes-Benz belonging to prominent entrepreneur Cephco (real name withheld) outside a Kololo nightclub last weekend.
Some social media users alleged the musician’s possible connection due to rumored business disputes between the two.
Through Kampala Associated Advocates, Saha’s lawyers stated: “Our client had no involvement in this criminal act and was not present at the scene.
These malicious allegations threaten his reputation and business endorsements.” The legal notice demands retractions from several gossip blogs.
Police spokesperson Patrick Onyango confirmed investigators have not named Saha as a suspect.
“We’re pursuing multiple leads, but no arrests have been made yet,” he told reporters at Central Police Station.
Forensic analysis of the CCTV footage is ongoing.
The damaged vehicle, estimated at $150,000, was reportedly targeted hours after Cephco attended a club event where Saha performed.
Sources suggest the businessman had exited the venue before the incident occurred.
Industry analysts note this marks the third time in 2025 that Ugandan celebrities have faced unverified criminal accusations through social media.
The Uganda Communications Commission recently warned about defamation risks under Section 25 of the Computer Misuse Act.
King Saha, currently promoting his new album “Biriwawo,” maintains his performance schedule despite the controversy.
Meanwhile, Cephco’s representatives declined to comment on the investigation’s progress.
