The High Court has issued orders barring the police from summoning lawyer Danstan Omari.
Omari was summoned over an alleged police raid at the former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi’s home.
The orders were issued by Justice Jairus Ngaah following an urgent application by lawyer Omari challenging the decision by the DCI detectives to summon him for interrogation on the Matiang’i’s home raid by a “battalion” of police officers on the night of February 8 and 9, 2023.
“The leave granted do operate as a stay of enforcement of the undated Notice to Compel Attendance under Section 52(1) of the National Police Service Act, No.11A of 2011, compelling Omari to appear before the DCI on February 22, 2023, to give information in connection to the invasion and raid of the residence of the Matiang’i,” Justice Ngaah ordered.
