The Uganda Police has issued a caution to musician Weasel Manizo after a viral video captured him physically assaulting a man suspected of attempting to break into his car.
Authorities condemned the act, stressing that while theft is a crime, taking the law into one’s own hands is equally punishable. Police urged the public to report such incidents through legal channels instead of resorting to violence
In a video circulating on social media shows the singer wielding a large rod, which he repeatedly used to strike the suspect while demanding his name, origin, and reason for tampering with the car.

According to reports, Weasel found the thief attempting to rob his vehicle from where it was parked. Instead of handing the suspect over to authorities, he and his friends resorted to beating him severely, leaving him bleeding.
Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson SSP Patrick Onyango confirmed receiving the video but did not indicate whether charges would be pressed. He, however, strongly warned against mob justice and individuals taking the law into their own hands.
Onyango told Uncovered Ug news reporters that “as police, we tell people like Weasel that if you get someone red-handed in your car, don’t take the law into your hands. Just take them to the police near you or your LC. If that person dies, we will find you responsible.”
Police emphasized the importance of immediately reporting such cases to the nearest station or local leaders rather than resorting to violence.
In conclusion, we encourage the people to cooperate with the police rather than mob justice.
