Zari Hassan’s husband, Shakib Cham Lutaaya, is in the crosshairs of Ugandan law enforcement following accusations of orchestrating a violent raid on a Kampala nightspot.

The summons, confirmed by Kampala Metropolitan Police, marks a stunning turn for the high-profile couple, shifting the spotlight from their glamorous lifestyle—closely followed by millions in Kenya—to a gritty criminal investigation involving assault and theft.

The Munyonyo Incident

The altercation reportedly took place at the Chezz Boss Mutoto Bar in the affluent Munyonyo suburb. According to a press statement released by Luke Owoyesigyire, the Deputy Police Spokesperson for Kampala Metropolitan, the incident occurred on December 27, 2025.

Owoyesigyire noted that the situation escalated rapidly when a group of men allegedly stormed the premises. Police records filed at the Kabalagala Police Station describe a chaotic scene where patrons were targeted in what authorities are treating as a coordinated attack rather than a simple bar brawl.

Allegations of Mob Violence

Preliminary investigations paint a troubling picture of the events. Police findings indicate that Shakib, who operates businesses in the nearby Kasanga area, allegedly led the group of suspected thugs during the raid. The objective appears to have been more than just intimidation.

Key details from the police report include:

• Physical Assault: Multiple patrons were reportedly beaten during the scuffle.
• Theft: Four victims have recorded statements claiming their mobile phones were stolen during the chaos.
• Leadership Role: Shakib is explicitly named as the alleged ringleader of the group that invaded the establishment.

"Police officers visited the scene and launched investigations to identify all individuals involved in the attack," Owoyesigyire emphasized, signaling that more arrests could follow.

A Star Under Scrutiny

For Kenyan observers, this development adds a dark chapter to the public narrative of Zari Hassan, a figure who commands immense influence across East Africa. While Zari herself has not been implicated in the incident, the legal troubles of her spouse inevitably draw public scrutiny to their shared brand.

As of now, it remains unclear if Shakib has complied with the summons. Authorities have warned that the investigation is active, and the net is closing in on all participants identified in the raid.
