Ugandas music star Joseph Mayanja a.k.a Jose Chameleone has denied any involvement in the circumstances that led to the death of the intruder who entered the singers house last week and performed a Tibet style immolation.
On Boxing Day, Robert Karamagi, found his way into Chameleones seguku based residence under unclear circumstances, had an exchange with the singers wife Daniella, set himself ablaze in the process before succumbing to the burns at Mulago Hospital where he had been taken for treatment.
On Wednesday, a 13 year old boy made a statement at Kajansi Police Station saying he saw Chameleone and his crew torture a man in his compound before setting him ablaze.
However, using his Facebook page, Chameleone while expressing regret at the loss of life says he did what every responsible citizen would do in the circumstances by alerting the Police when he realized there was a stranger in his house.
Below is what the singer had to say
Happy new year Chameleone and Leone island fans!
With all due respect I have not been quiet about all that is revolving around me for any selfish reason. It is a trying moment.
I pass my sincere condolences to the family and friends of the bereaved.
As a parent I cannot blame his family for who he was because we bear children and who they become is their choice.
This Man intruded into my house and acted in a self-destructive manner that I cant explain what he had in mind except narrate what I witnessed.
Upon his threats against my family, as responsible citizens we alerted the police who came a few minutes after he set himself ablaze.
Even when authority came in he still acted unusual and violent and neither did he report to them that any body had set him on fire.
Police had to handcuff him as they struggled to put him on the police car that drove him to Kajjansi police station from where he was rushed to hospital where he did not at least tell to the attending doctors who put him in that state.
After a few hours, his family reported to hospital and only until his last minutes its alleged that he told them I was his friend and I had blame on his fate!
I am born, raised, and will forever be Ugandan, and I am not above the law!
I am encountering a lot of judgement from selfish minds upon this incident but only GOD can judge me.
