Mwanza police have detained Majani Masagati and three associates for their involvement in an unusual incident where they were seen throwing money in a nightclub. The incident, which has sparked considerable public and media attention, occurred in one of Mwanza’s popular entertainment venues.

The Mwanza Regional Police Commander, Wilbroad Mutafungwa, confirmed the arrests, stating that the suspects, including Masagati, Kiruma Lucas of Ibanda, Sharifu Juma of Kiseke, and Selemani Charles of Nyamanoro, engaged in reckless behavior by treating money as waste. Eyewitnesses reported the suspects throwing cash onto the floor, with some patrons scrambling to collect it, creating a chaotic scene. The police intervened promptly, arresting the individuals involved and bringing them into custody.

The bizarre act of throwing money has elicited mixed reactions from the public. While some viewed it as an extravagant display of wealth, others condemned it as irresponsible and disrespectful.
