A court has issued a warrant of arrest against Murang’a South’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) boss David Cheruiyott for ignoring orders in a case where two Nigerians are accused of peddling cocaine.
The suspects, Solomon Nduba Abuzike and Cletus Okeke Onyabuchi, had filed a complaint through their lawyer, Elkana Mogaka, alleging that the DCI boss had refused to release their phones.
The lawyer told the court that despite being granted bail, the suspects have been unable to secure their freedom because they are unable to contact their families.
The suspects, who argued that they do not have the contacts of their relatives off head, have been in custody since April 19.
Kigumo Principal Magistrate Shivai Agade agreed with the defense counsel that Cheruiyott had violated court orders requiring him to release the suspects’ gadgets.
The suspects had previously written a letter to the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) George Kinoti, expressing their displeasure with Cheruiyott’s refusal to obey the court order.
Commenting on the matter, the magistrate stated that Cheruiyott should not be pressured by his boss to obey court orders, stating that by choosing to ignore legally founded court directives, he was setting a bad precedent likely to induce impunity and thus needed to be held accountable.
