What the report says

Singer George William Kigozi, known professionally as Geosteady, is receiving hospital care after reportedly injuring himself while trying to flee suspected intruders at his home, according to Sqoop Uganda. The report says he jumped over his compound fence in an attempt to escape people he believed had entered the residence.

The article says the escape led to another scare when nearby people heard the commotion and briefly mistook him for a thief. His manager, Jose Famous, said Geosteady struck his head during the jump and had to explain that he was the homeowner running from suspected attackers.

Jose said the singer is now hospitalised and getting specialised medical attention. He also suggested the incident may have been staged, pointing to a recent change in security at the new residence and the addition of a new security helper a day before the alleged attack.

Sqoop Uganda said the episode appears linked to audio and video clips that circulated on social media over the weekend, in which Geosteady was heard calling for help and alleging that someone identified as Job had set him up. Those claims have not been independently verified. The report also says police have been informed, but it remains unclear who the suspected intruders were or what prompted the incident.
