After investigations, he pleaded not guilty and his properties were released. Soon after he was released, Lusambo apologized for the attitude and hatred he always showed for President Hichilema. He said it was evident that President HH and his government inflicted pain on his family. Lusambo concluded by saying that from there on he would change his style of 'Politiking'.[7]
