Nigerian singer, Tems has refused to eat anything while still in police custody in Uganda
Tems alongside fellow Nigerian singer Omah Lay were arrested on Sunday after they performed at an event the previous night at the Ddungu Resort inside Munyonyo, Kampala City.
The singers have been charged to court and were on Monday, December 14 arraigned on charges of doing “acts that are likely to cause the spread of infectious disease Covid-19”.
While they remain in custody, Tems has decided to stay away from food for reasons unknown although many on social media are saying she is scared of being poisoned.
“I don’t want to eat unless you strap me to a chair and force food down my throat,” the ‘Try Me’ singer is heard telling a woman in a video that emerged online.
“I haven’t eaten in the past 24 hours, and I’m not eating for the past 48.”
While her reason for doing this is uncertain, fans attribute it to her being scared of food poisoning.
