A daughter to a lawmaker who had been arrested together with his boyfriend over alleged links to al Shabab have finally been released but reaffirmed that their love bond will not be broken.
The daughter of North Mugirango MP Charles Monga'are, 24-year-old Erisiana Sabiri claimed that his father framed her and his boyfriend Ahmed Salim in pursuit to frustrate their love.
“There is no issue of terrorism here. It is just an issue of parenting. I have decided to release the two respondents to their parents,” city magistrate Martha Motuko said on Monday.
Sabiri was taken to the ATPU from where her father was ordered to pick her.
After the couple was released, Salim said: “We are happy. We have been in remand since Thursday but this will not stop our love. We are in loveand we have told court the same."
"I will go home and take a hot shower and probably take her her out to watch a movie. But I am afraid that once Sabiri is picked by herfather, he will try to detain her," he added.
The case will be mentioned on June 21.
