Party animals in Nebbi district ganged up and beat a club deejay to death for playing them boring music and turning down their song requests.
Jerry Okirwoth, a senior three student at Parombo Secondary School who was working as a part-time DJ at one of the disco halls in Nebbi district breathed his last on Wednesday after an angry crowd pounced on him for “wasting their money” and time by playing them very boring music.
As a result, the Resident District Commissioner (RDC), William Bob Labeja has outlawed night discos in the district until bar owners make an effort to protect their workers in the face of mob action.
“As the head of security in the district, I will no longer allow any disco operators to conduct their businesses. Anybody who defies the directive will be prosecuted,” he said.
Labeja added that all disco halls in the district must be closed because they are causing insecurity and redundancy among the youth.
