And you think this man and his friend will not use emotions to rebel against the government that kept him incarcerated for good 24years? How will he start his life afresh? Should he forget as quickly as possible all what he went through in jail for a crime he never committed?

WATCH: Former city businessman Muhammad Ssebuwufu, who was convicted in 2019 for the kidnap and murder of Betty Donah Katusabe, has been released from prison following a presidential pardon. Ssebuwufu was initially sentenced to 40 years in prison, but in a 2025 ruling, a panel of three Court of Appeal Justices reduced his sentence to 18 years after re-evaluating the evidence and finding that the lower court’s sentence was excessively harsh. He has spent 11 years in prison before his release today. #NTVNews stephen kibwiika, jr
