Court orders release of Kitengela activist Bob Njagi

Kitengela activist Bob Njagi has been released after the High Court in Kajiado overturned a magistrate’s order allowing police to detain him for seven days. Njagi, who is under investigation over alleged treason, has instead been ordered to report daily to the Kitengela Directorate of Criminal Investigations as investigations continue. Meanwhile, the Independent Policing Oversight Authority has raised concern over what it terms blatant disregard of court orders by police, citing the use of plain-clothes officers, balaclavas and vehicles with concealed registration plates. Willy Lusige reports.
