The police in Jinja City have dropped it’s charges on seven out of the eight Arsenal fans who were detained on Monday after spending one night in the dock.
The Arsenal fans were arrested for holding a procession in Jinja city after celebrating the club’s win against Manchester United in the English Premier League, without the Police’s permission.
The Kiira region Police spokesperson James Mubi said they had dug into more trouble after failing to answer a few questions about Arsenal while in detention.
“I am an Arsenal fan and you know that, but these people after bringing them to the police, they even do not know the basics about the team. They did not even know about the invisible run of the club,” Mubi said.
He said that on further inquiring, the purported fans claimed that they had just been given the teams’ kit and asked to go start a procession.
