Man in torture video Yusuf Kawooya released

Yusuf Kawooya, the man whose recent violent arrest in the heart of the city sparked off intense condemnation, has today been released on bond.

He is to report back to the Chieftaincy of Military Intelligence (CMI) on October 31.

Kawooya was arrested by plainclothes men in broad daylight on Colville Street near Christ the King Church in the city centre last Thursday.
Following his release at Kireka Special Investigations Directorate in Kampala, he said he was weak and felt some pain from within. He was later taken to an unnamed hospital for medical attention.

After waiting for him to emerge from the facility on Wednesday, Kawooya’s family was delighted to finally receive him. The group included his father, Rtd. Capt. Habibu Jjingo and siblings Sharifa Nakitende (a Rubaga division councillor representing Ndeeba parish) and brother Sulaiman Ssemakula.

Nakawa MP Michael Kabaziguruka said Wednesday that he had helped the DP/UYD member to secure bond.
“I have secured the release of Yusuf Kawooya on police bond. Thank you all for your prayers,” the MP shared on his Facebook wall.
