Tanzania Gospel Singer Rose Muhando Arrested

Police in Tanzania have arrested the country’s veteran gospel singer Rose Muhando on suspicion of fraud. Confirming the arrest, Singida police boss, Debora Mligimba revealed that the musician was arrested at her home in Ikungi area after AICT Singida Church filed a complaint to police accusing the singer of declining to pay money she owed the church.

The church alleges that it gave Rose Muhando Tsh800, 000 (Ksh37,000) through the Chairman of AICT Singida Church choir, Mashala Japhet for her to grace an event organized by the choir, only to not show up.

According to the church, Muhando failed to refund the money even after skipping the event.

The church further told the police that the singer received an additional Tsh150, 000 (Ksh6,900) as bus fare for an event held in Tanzania’s capital Dodoma where the choir was launching an album.

Upon interrogation by the police, the musician admitted to receiving money from the Church but skipped the event as agreed because she “had a sick person at home to attend to”.

She has since agreed to refund the money to the church.

    We have to be WISE when SINGING the songs we Compose are Composed by other people; especially Judgmental Songs. And we also need to watch How we Dance before the Sexually Charged Society of Today.

    The decision taken by the church was unfair and malicious considering Rose Muhando is a very famous musician ever and Tanzanian conerstone,she didn't deserve to be taken to police.37,000 kenya money it's not big money you can do any business with that's very shameful for tbe entire church. Very annoyed fan.

    CHURCH DESTROYING ITS OWN BODY..Muhando is a servant of Christ and the church is the only fertile ground to nature and mould her talent..the church ought to have consider the fact that money and church are two things that if not carefully handled can bring disintegration of its body parts...On the other hand i help My sister Muhando that avoid borrowing church money...

    Siz Rose has been a long time music singer who cannot lack 37000/= .There could be a rotten malicious issue that the church has to explain. Muhando, relocate to Kenya,we love you so much
