His family through their lawyers Wameeli and Company Advocates petitioned the High Court demanding for unconditional release. They threatened to sue the Attorney General, the Director Criminal Intelligence and investigation and the Directorate officer in charge of Jinja Police station.

And earlier today the High Court Judge Boniface Wamala allowed the family to file a case seeking to compel the police to state why Ssekitoleko should not be freed, several days after he was first detained.
