Security has banned the traditional Imbalu dance popularly known as Kadodi in Mbale City. Asumin Nasike, the Mbale City Commissioner, announced the ban on Thursday.
She said the ban stemmed from the increased number of crimes committed by the Kadodi dancers.
The Mbale City Commissioner cited an incident in which Kadodi dancers stole a mobile phone and sh300, 000 from a UPDF soldier.
Rogers Taitika, the Elgon region police spokesperson has urged the public to abide by the directive.
Wilson Watira, the chairperson of ‘’Imbalu’’ at Inzu Yamasaba, has welcomed the directive. Watira said that apart from cases of theft, the dancers also disrupt business in the City.
