Kazoora was reportedly arrested by court bailiffs over failure to pay a loan amounting to UGX54m.

His arrest comes almost a year after he breached the terms of payment with United Bank of Africa (UBA).

The loan had accumulated since 2015, according to a privately owned newspaper, Daily Monitor.

The Execution Division of the High Court signed a committal warrant sending Kazoora to civil prison where he will spend six months.

The bank was also ordered to pay UGX3,000 to cater for his daily meals.

A few weeks ago, he landed a lucrative deal worth millions as one of the new hosts on MTN's new product campaign.

Trouble continues to follow the celebrated events MC; in 2014, he was arrested in Rwanda over "breach of trust" and tax fraud and evasion amounting to over UGX120m.

Two years later, a Rwanda court convicted him to one year in prison and pay UGX64m in damages after losing the appeal.
