Barely a month after Nairobi Governor Johnsons Sakaja’s assistant was discovered, his legal team is again in court, this time attempting to prevent his arrest and detention on unspecified accusations.
Osman Khalif was found unconscious on November 21 in Dandora, Nairobi, after his wife reported him missing about November 10.
Yasmin Osman, his wife, alleged that he was taken while walking home from Sarit Centre at 4 p.m.
He was discovered after his legal team, led by Eric Theuri, filed a court case requesting that the state produce him.
However, in a fresh application filed before the Milimani Law court, Osman claims that on December 18 a contingent of plain-dressed DCI officers attempted to raid his office and arrest him.
According to the Court documents, the officers did not disclose reasons for attempting to cause his arrest nor did they disclose why they could not summon him to go to the police station.
He argues that the Inspector General of Police and the DCI have denied having anything to do with his abduction “yet they came with a picture of me taken the morning just before I got into the private office entrance further demonstrating that they are following us”.
He now seeks an order restraining the IG from arresting, detaining or in any way interfering with his liberty unless and until there are formal charges against him.
