ALFRED Achikane, who is alleged to have shot musician Moses Ssali alias Bebe Cool, was yesterday released on bail.

Achikane, attached to Jinja Road Police Station, allegedly shot Bebe Cool, his bodyguards Abbas Kayoyo, Allan Masengere, Godfrey Kayiza, and a fellow officer, David Oluka, on January 30. The incident occurred at Nakumatt Supermarket on Yusuf Lule road in Kampala.

Achikane was granted bail by Nakawa chief magistrate Deo Ssejjemba until March 26 when the case will come up for mention.

Achikane, who was charged with five counts of attempted murder, has been on remand at Luzira Prison for the last two weeks.

In his first appearance in court early this month, he pleaded not guilty to five counts of attempted murder. Achikane yesterday produced two sureties before the court, and was granted a non-cash bail of sh3m.
