The Jamaican reggae singer, Buju Banton have been released from prison and landed on Jamaican soil last night.
The Norman Manley International Airport in Kingston was the hub of activity last night as reggae superstar, Mark ‘Buju Banton’ Myrie touched down after spending eight years imprisoned in the United States.
A large crowd turned out in hopes of seeing Banton. However, as anxious fans waited out front, Buju was whisked away through a side gate.
Videos emerged showing the entertainer looking very happy, pausing for photos with fans, as he was escorted through the immigration area.
Banton, a Grammy award-winning entertainer, was convicted for drug trafficking on February 22, 2011 in Tampa, Florida, 12 days after the retrial of his case began.
There was no official home-coming planned for Buju.
