“Tangu alipopata tetesi za msanii huyo akutoka jela, amejikuta nakosa usingizi na kuumwa presha. Na kutokana na suala hilo, imenilazimu kwenda kwenda kwenye maombi kwa ajili ya afya yangu.” Said Mama Kanumba

She added that Lulu should have at least served one year in jail after the court ruling.

“Licha ya kuwa si yeye aliyemuhukumu, Lulu alipaswa kukaa hata mwaka mmoja ili roho yangu iridhike lakini ndio hivyo, Siku zote maskini hana haki." Hata hivyo, amewashukuru wote waliohusika kumtoa na kwa sababu mimi sina hela na najua watu wataanza kunitusi mitandaoni kwa sababu hiyo lakini yote namuachia Mungu” said Mama Kanumba

Community service sentence

On Monday, the Police Officer In charge of the Prisons Department Lucas Mboje, disclosed that Lulu was released over the weekend and would now serve a community service sentence.
