The two, travelled back from South Africa with Pallaso to show their support after the attack and ensure he gets back home safe.

Speaking at the press conference, during a five-hour lay over on his way to Uganda, the Bubble singer spoke exclusively to People Daily Digital saying, “I thought I was going to die at that University parking, especially when I saw the police car pass by. I have the wounds and scars that I will hold dear to me as a reminder of what I went through in the hands of fellow Africans.”

The Ugandan star added, “I call upon my brothers and sisters, to promote peace and oneness, it is our responsibility as Africans to take care of each other and spread love not hate.”
