Eight suspects linked to the violence that erupted at St Stephen’s ACK Cathedral in Kisumu have been released after the court ruled that there was no basis to continue holding them.

Their lawyers accused the state of misusing the criminal justice system and demanded that police pursue the real perpetrators behind the chaos that rocked the church on July 12, 2026.

Senior Resident Magistrate Vallary Adhiambo ordered that the suspects be released immediately and closed the case after the prosecution confirmed that investigations had been completed.
