Dave dash who moths ago was caught on camera running Naked on the streets has finally spoken out on the fateful day. Here is his interview on by Sqoop.co.ug<\/p>\n

What really happened that day?<\/strong><\/em>
\nThree days earlier, I was going through an emotional situation. I felt as though the entire world had abandoned me; my wife had left with my son, our family land was sold off by people I trusted so much and thinking about my son being caught up in the middle of it broke me down. It was my fault. I broke down and thought that if I ran about naked, nobody would mind.<\/p>\n

So were you high that day?<\/strong><\/em>
\nNo. I was off weed for a day and the weed I was using is one of the strongest and I had used it for four months. I would smoke it every morning, afternoon and evening. That day, all I wanted was at least the scent of mango because the weed smells like mango, but I did not have access.<\/p>\n

You could have undressed from your house. Did you have to run to the street?<\/strong><\/em>
\nI used to jog from Bunga pump to Kampala University twice a day, as I smoked but this time I did not have the weed so I undressed, took the same run, showered in the lake and was home by 9.45am. When I got home, I started receiving calls, and texts from people expressing concern.<\/p>\n

Was that gesture meant to test how much people cared for you?<\/strong><\/em>
\nNo. This was my break down. It was all about me, my wrongs haunting me. I had destroyed families including mine. I was the pope of darkness who knew everyone\u2019s dark point and to wash away all those things, rehab was the only place for me to go. It was a personal decision.<\/p>\n

Does this mean you took yourself to rehab?<\/strong><\/em>
\nYes I did. No one told me or forced me to go there.<\/p>\n

What is the main reason that took you to rehab?<\/strong><\/em>
\nI have a family to look after and I wanted to tell people about the dangers of drugs. We actually have an app that can help teach people about the beauty of being sober. I also went to rehab to be cleansed.<\/p>\n

Which rehab did you go to?<\/strong><\/em>
\nI was in Butabika. It was an amazing experience. It made me reconnect with myself.<\/p>\n

What really happens in Butabika or in rehab?<\/strong><\/em>
\nIn there, no one judges you because everyone is mad. Mad in different aspects; some are stressed, others just gave up while others are there because of excessive drinking. It is a clean place for anyone who wants to reconnect with themselves and truth be told, everyone at some point may want to check into Butabika.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
