Nigerian singer, Patoranking was said to
have gotten himself in a mess for
demanding celebrity treatment from
Ugandan Immigration officials.
According to Trending News Uganda, the
reggae-dancehall singer, whose real name
is Patrick Nnaemela Okorie, was arrested
yesterday afternoon at the Entebbe
International Airport for failing to adhere
to strict checks and rules at the Nation’s
entry point.
Eyewitness say the GOE star allegedly
flouted orders given at the airport thinking
his celebrity status would get him a VIP
passage.
He then accused the immigration officers
of disrespecting and harassing him when
they asked him to comply with the rules.
“He failed to adhere to check-in rules and
above all he had not secured his entry
visa,” a source told the media site, adding
that the singer was acting ‘too big’,
demanding for VVIP treatment.
“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.”
Following this altercation, Patoranking was
reportedly delayed for 7 hours and was
only released and given entry visa after
apologizing and begging the airport
officials.
After his release, the Ebonyi State-born
singer reportedly lodged at the Hotel
Africana where he addressed journalists.
Patoranking is in Uganda to promote his
new album, ‘God Over Everything’.
