The magistrate visited the cell together with NUP lawyers and leaders led by the Leader of Opposition in Parliament.

In the cell, the team reportedly found Madada vomiting blood, and ordered her to be rushed to Mulago National Hospital

Madada had been brought to the court together with other NUP members Eddy Mutwe, Alex Waiswa Mufumbiro, Achileo Kivumbi and Olivia Lutaaya among others, for mention of their case.
