The army court of appeal has overturned the 8 years, 8 months & 6 days jail sentence handed to convicted & jailed bodaboda 2010 patron Abdallah Kitata & his bodyguard Sowali Ngobi on charges of illegal possession of firearms & ammunition.
The former Boda Boda 2010 giant was in 2019 found guilty of unlawful possession of fire arms contrary to section 3 of the Fire Arms Act. He was however acquitted of possession of military gear and ammunition since prosecution failed to adduce enough evidence.
Justice Elly Tyuryamubina has now ordered that the 2 serve only one year, 8 months & 6 days after ruling that the said sentence was harsh and excessive.
