Monday, July 24, 2023 –Ex-Mungiki Leader Maina Njenga has today been arraigned at Makadara Law Courts after days in custody.

The former sect boss, Mr Njenga, was on Monday July 24 arraigned after spending five nights in police custody.

Under heavy security, he was driven to Makadara Law Courtsover claims of planning anti-government protests against the high cost of living.

The politician was arrested on July 20 by police from lower Matasia in Ngong and taken to an undisclosed location. His lawyer Ndegwa Njiru said.

The lawyers moved to court under habeas corpus terms and obtained an order requiring police to produce him in court on July 24.

Habeas corpus is a writ issued by a court directing one who holds another in custody to produce the person before the court for a specified purpose.

His family has been piling pressure on the State to produce their kin who was abducted alongside two other relatives on the fateful day.

As this was happening, Pauline Njoroge, Nduta and Emanze Jilani were reported to be still locked up at the Watamu Police Station following their dramatic arrest last weekend.

Lawyer Ndegwa Njiri confirmed on Monday July 24 that the DCI has declined to produce them in court due to what was described as ‘orders from above’.
