Bizonto comedy group members have said that their recent arrest incident will not deter their acting profession.

Bizontos were released on Tuesday after spending almost four days behind bars. They were arrested over their veiled attack comedy skit on top government officials who hail from Western Uganda. The video allegedly promoted sectarianism.

“It was about 09:43 am when we were arrested by security operatives who never told us why we were being arrested, however, after some hours in Kireka safe house they showed us some video alleging that were inciting violence, and sectarianism, however, that is not our video, our official videos are only found on our YouTube channel ‘Bizonto Comedy’ The video in question was edited, whereby they inserted in pictures and even a word the ‘The most tribalistic regime’ that is the difference, our original video is on our youtube channel,” said Simon Peter Ssaabakaaki, one of the group members.

The four said that their intention to do such a skit was purposely to inform parents to teach their children at home the leaders of their country. “In our original video, we were telling parents to teach their children the leaders of our country and pray for them because they hold very important posts in the country,” said Marcelo Mbabaali, another member of the group.

They added that arresting them, will not threaten them from doing their comedy as long as they are saying the truth.

“We shall not leave comedy because we are not breaking any laws, we trust our skit writer, we have all along made such videos,” said Ssaabakaaki.

“Even today if our uniforms and cameras had not been taken for investigation, we will be shooting another video if there is anybody who can give us a camera and uniforms we can resume immediately. Also whatever we saw in the safe house, we will release them in our comedy skits.”

The four were arrested on Friday last week on charges of promoting sectarianism however on Tuesday they were released from the Special Investigations Unit in Kireka where they spent four days in detention. Their release was after their lawyer, Ivan Bwowe served Inspector General of Police, the Director of Criminal Investigations Directorate and Commandant of the Special Investigations Unit a court order directing their unconditional release.
