Through his social media, Bobi Wine explained Madoi was allegedly arrested for making People Power branded overalls.
"Yesterday, among other places, the military and police raided Latif Fashion School in Kawanda and arrested its founder, the award-winning designer Latif Madoi, and four students identified as Roger, Jose (Mwavu Takwana), Shaban, and another unknown student.
According to his son, they took away many belongings, including five sewing machines, material fabric, and finished clothing.
The shameless regime is cracking down on freedom of expression through fashion because it’s so powerful, and it speaks so loudly.
We will defy any illegal attacks on our rights and freedoms to freely express ourselves through fashion.
I publicly wear the overall that he made for me. Why should he be in jail for making it? #FreeLatifMadoi" he wrote.
On Wednesday evening, King Saha joined Bobi Wine in calling for Latif's release and explained the designer should be left to earn from his art.
"He should be freed because that's the job that pays his bills. He has also created jobs for ghetto youths who are interested in the tailoring business and the like. I appeal to security agencies to let him out," Saha explained in a video making rounds on social media.
