Ugandan musician Patrick Mulwana, popularly known as Alien Skin, has been granted a cash bail of UGX 1 million after a court appearance following his alleged altercation at Nsambya Hospital.
Alien Skin is set to return to court on January 13, 2025, for further proceedings.
The Allegations Against Alien Skin
The controversy surrounding Alien Skin began after a video went viral showing the singer and his entourage allegedly assaulting doctors, nurses, and security personnel at Nsambya Hospital.
The incident caused public outrage, with many condemning the actions as disgraceful and unacceptable.
Alien Skin was later arrested and remanded to Luzira Prison as investigations continued.
Court Decision and Public Reactions
The court granted Alien Skin bail, but the decision has sparked criticism. Many Ugandans have taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction, questioning the fairness of the justice system.
Critics argue that a UGX 1 million bail is too lenient for such serious allegations, including humiliating medical professionals and physical assaults.
Public Outcry Over Justice

Many have called for stricter consequences to deter similar actions in the future and to uphold the dignity of healthcare professionals who dedicate their lives to serving the public.

Alien Skin is expected to reappear in court on January 13, 2025, to answer the charges. Meanwhile, public discourse on the case continues, with calls for justice and accountability.
