Lawyer representing Diana Bahati reveals reason for Willy Paul's dramatic arrest

Willy Paul was arrested on cyberbullying charges, according to Caroline Giseve, a lawyer who represents musician Diana Bahati. 

Giseve told reporters shortly after the singer's arrest that the arrest was the result of Willy Paul repeatedly failing to appear despite multiple summons.

"Investigations were conducted, and the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions authorized Willy Paul's arrest," Giseve stated. "Despite numerous summonses, Willy Paul failed to appear, leading to his arrest on Monday morning."

The case dates back to 2021, when Willy Paul made online claims about being in a relationship with Diana before she married fellow musician Bahati. 

These allegations sparked rumours and speculation, paving the way for Monday's surprising turn of events.

Willy Paul's cryptic social media message, "If something happens to me, know that people in uniform are involved," caused shockwaves across social media, fueling conspiracy theories and keeping fans guessing.

Outside the artist's gated residence, the scene was reminiscent of an action-packed thriller, with police cars forming a formidable blockade for the better part of Monday morning. 

The musician will be arraigned on Tuesday.
