Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>By 11:30pm, the atmosphere was electric as revelers geared up for the countdown. Alien Skin and his entourage arrived at this moment, but tensions escalated when they attempted to force their way onto the main stage.<\/b><\/p>\n

The Enkuuka New Year Festivity at Lubiri, Mengo, attracted thousands of revelers eager to bid farewell to 2024 and welcome 2025 in grand style.<\/p>\n

The event was marked by electrifying performances and an exuberant crowd, embodying the spirit of celebration.<\/p>\n

However, an altercation involving popular musician Alien Skin and his entourage overshadowed portions of the night.<\/p>\n

The festivities began on a high note, with a line-up of performers captivating the audience with their unique acts.<\/p>\n

By 11:30pm, the atmosphere was electric as revelers geared up for the countdown. Alien Skin and his entourage arrived at this moment, but tensions escalated when they attempted to force their way onto the main stage.<\/p>\n

Bouncers at the entrance tried to block the group, leading to a violent confrontation. Eyewitnesses reported punches being exchanged as the musician’s crew clashed with the event security.<\/p>\n

The chaos spilled into the VIP section, where some attendees were reportedly assaulted by members of Alien Skin’s group.<\/p>\n

Security personnel and law enforcement intervened, restoring order before the situation spiraled further.<\/p>\n

Controversial singer Alien Skin was late last year briefly jailed after attacking medical personal at Nsambya Hospital. He was also accused of leading his gang in defacing the walls of National Unity Platform party headquarters at Makerere Kavule.<\/p>\n

Despite the disruption, the night\u2019s main events continued as planned. As the clock struck midnight, fireworks illuminated the sky, and the crowd erupted into cheers, dancing, and jubilant celebrations.<\/p>\n

Adding a unique touch to the festivities, some revelers donned tree branches and foliage as a symbolic nod to environmental conservation.<\/p>\n

This message of unity and care for the environment stood in stark contrast to the earlier chaos, offering a reminder of the event\u2019s deeper purpose\u2014bringing people together in harmony.<\/p>\n

While the altercation left a blemish on the evening, the celebration ultimately triumphed, with attendees embracing the new year in high spirits.<\/p>\n

The 2024 Enkuuka Festivity will undoubtedly be remembered for its vibrant moments, inspiring gestures, and the drama that briefly disrupted the joy.<\/p>\n
