The individual known as Kaftah Queen, who was involved in a video where she and her friends assaulted Pretty Nicole, has been released from prison. Initially, on January 17, Kaftah was brought before the Kira Chief Magistrates Court and charged with aggregated torture.
She was then remanded to Luzira prison. Later, on January 31, Chief Magistrate Roseline Nsenge of the Kira Court sentenced Kaftah Queen to three years in prison for the aggregated torture of Pretty Nicole and causing severe bodily harm.
Meanwhile, the Prevention and Prohibition of Torture Act of 2012 (PPTA) makes it illegal to engage in acts of torture. If convicted of torture, a person can be sentenced to up to 15 years in prison, while aggravated torture carries a penalty of life imprisonment.

However, after serving six months, Justice Margaret Mutonyi of the High Court in Kampala ordered Kaftah's release on Friday, July 21. This decision was made following an appeal by Kaftah's lawyer, in which the High Court ruling stated that the sentence, conviction, and trial court's orders were to be set aside, and Kaftah Queen was to be set free.
It is worth noting that during the investigation, the police attempted to obtain a statement from Pretty Nicole but initially, she refused to cooperate, blaming herself for the incident.
However, she later agreed to record a statement after being persuaded. Despite other suspects involved in the assault managing to disappear, the police were able to track down and arrest Kaftah Queen on January 10.
In summary, Kaftah Queen was initially charged, sentenced to three years in prison, and subsequently released after an appeal was made in the High Court.
The case highlights the importance of cooperation with law enforcement agencies and the judicial process in ensuring justice is served.
