Police have arrested local musician Patrick Mulwana, popularly known as Alien Skin, on allegations connected to the death of a former member of his Fangone Forest crew.
Kampala Metropolitan Police spokesperson Patrick Onyango said that Mr Mulwana reported himself to the director of crime intelligence, and later he was taken to Katwe police station for statement recording.
“Alien Skin, whose real name is Patrick Mulwana, has been arrested today, October 1, 2025, in connection with the death of Wilfred Namuwaya, alias Top Dancer. He is currently at Katwe police where his statement is being recorded,” Mr Onyango said. Wilfred Namuwaya, alias Top Dancer, was picked up from his Ndeeba home by a man identified as Musomali, who is linked to Fangone Forest, and taken at night to the group’s base in Kizungu, Makindye.
Detectives close to the investigation said Namuwaya’s decision to quit the group had angered its leader. Before his death, Namuwaya reportedly told investigators that he was abducted and tortured on Alien Skin’s orders.
“They picked me up at my home, claiming that I stole something, and took me back. When they reached there, I was beaten, kicked by several people on orders of Alien, saying; Why did I leave the group?” Namuwaya recounted before his death.
A doctor at Ayaan Life Care Medical Center, who requested anonymity, said Namuwaya was brought in the night and abandoned outside. “He had severe internal bleeding beyond our capacity,” the doctor said. “We tried to save him through the night before referring him to Mulago hospital, but he was pronounced dead on arrival.”
Mr Onyango said detectives are hunting for other associates, including Commander Mdogo’, Ibra Kabadiya, and Mijagulo, in connection with the fatal assault that resulted in death. “The group severely beat Namuwaya and later dumped him at a clinic. We are pursuing all those involved,” Onyango said.
David Byamugisha, the neighbor to the deceased, said, before Mr Namuwaya passed on, he had worked for Alien Skin for two years before he left.
