The High Court in Mombasa has ordered the Inspector General (IG) of police, Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI), and Attorney General (AG) to pay Sh. 500,000 to a man arrested and detained maliciously over a resolved land dispute in Kilifi County without the directive of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP).
Justice Jairus Ngaah also directed that the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) Mtwapa, DCI officer Mtwapa, Leonard Kurgat, and Police Constable Mailu pay the said money to Wilson Sadaka for violating his rights under articles 28, 29, 40, 47, and 49(1)(a) of the Constitution.
According to Sadaka’s lawyer, Jane Onyango, the said officers arrested and detained his client for two days following a complaint by Dennis Thuva accusing Sadaka of falsely obtaining a registration of 12 acres of land from his father, Billy Kaluma.
