“As a father, a Pastor and a Mentor of young men, I am troubled by the outcome of the above-mentioned case. I seek to assist the convict in lodging an appeal to gain his freedom,” Ssempa wrote.
In a recent interview, Hon Sylvia Rwabwogo that Isiko (25) was being used by other parties to lure her into a trap and kill her adding that he (Isiko) had been endlessly calling, texting and following her for over eight months.
“He called me in the middle of the night, followed me almost everywhere to the extent that I had to even leave my own car and use another or even cancel my meetings and stay locked up at home. That is not love,” she said in a radio interview.
