Buganda Road Court, Kampala: Ibrahim Musana, famously known as "Pressure 24/7" on TikTok, has finally been released on a Shs2million bail by Buganda Road Court Chief Magistrate Ronald Kayizzi after over 60 days of detainment without trial for allegations of offensive communication, including insults directed at President Museveni, Buganda King Ronald Mutebi.

The court's ruling, while marking a milestone in the legal proceedings, comes with a stern admonition.

Despite being granted bail, Pressure 24/7 has been cautioned against engaging in further abusive or offensive behavior, particularly on online platforms like TikTok.

Chief Magistrate Kayizzi emphasized that any recurrence of such actions would result in the revocation of bail, leading to a return to custody.

In a notable turn of events, Pressure 24/7's release was made possible through the presentation of his two aunties as sureties, a move approved by the court after previous attempts failed to meet the required criteria.

This development underscores the significance of adhering to legal procedures in securing freedom within the bounds of the law.

The case has attracted widespread attention due to the controversial nature of Pressure 24/7's TikTok content, which allegedly contained derogatory remarks targeting high-profile individuals.

While his bail offers a temporary reprieve, it serves as a reminder of the responsibilities that accompany freedom of expression in the digital age.
