The video that surfaced online and was supposedly taken by one of the airport staff, paints a different picture from Musisi’s earlier allegations that he was mistreated by Immigration officials, who unfairly detained him for three hours upon arrival from the US.
In the video, he is seen apologizing to the immigration officers, admitting to “being rude” to the junior officers, and asking to be forgiven.
He blames his actions on fatigue and jetlag, having been on a three-day flight from New York.
“I was tired, I had been on the plane for three days…I left New York on Saturday and our aircraft broke down in Burundi,” he said.
“I have been extremely stressed, I even need my medication. Whatever I did I apologise.”
One of the Immigration Officers can be heard asking Musisi whether it's right for him to “take out your stress on everybody you meet.”
She also demands that he personally apologise to the two junior officers, one of them named Kato.
“You should apologise to them, however small they are because here they represent the Government of Uganda,” the female office said.
“Whatever is said to you, I am extremely stressed and it's uncharacteristic of me, I am a leader…This should never have happened,” Musisi pleaded with Kato.
Lt Col Musisi revealed at a public meeting last weekend that he was embarrassed by a female immigration officer upon his arrival in his homeland.
According to Musisi, the immigration officer expressed dissatisfaction with his demeanor and proceeded to detain him for three hours in the late hours of the night.
"I was detained for three hours; Immigration detained me for three hours and confiscated my passport while returning to my home country," shared Col Musisi, reflecting on the ordeal.
"They said I was too proud. A woman made me sit down, I tried to make phone calls but most people were asleep."
Musisi boasts an extensive tenure in the US Army, having served since 2000 after relocating to the United States in the early 1990s.
His dedication and service were recognized with a promotion to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel last year. He served overseas during Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq from 2003 to 2004.
While facing distress at the airport and unable to seek immediate assistance, Musisi reached out to the Ugandan Embassy in Washington DC for intervention.
"I called the Deputy Ambassador, and she was very helpful; she talked to the officials and they handed back my passport and let me go," he shared.
