Emmanuel Jurugo was remanded alongside two Dee Jays, Makumai Innocent, and Mawadri Benjamin.
The trio were charged with acts likely to spread disease, they did not take plea as the magistrate grade one Agnes Nantawo and the resident state attorney were not at the station.
They were arrested on August 30, 2021, on allegations of staging an illegal disco contrary to the presidential directives of Covid-19.
The management of Vintage club has however distanced themselves from the actions of its staff who flouted the covid-19, standard operating procedures that barred disco staging, and have pledged to sort out the matter administratively.
