The Kahawa Law Courts on Wednesday issued arrest warrants against three activists linked to the controversial Fighting Brutality and Impunity (FBI) movement after they failed to appear in court for mention of their case.
Court Session
The matter was mentioned before Senior Principal Magistrate Gideon Kiage, who was expected to fix hearing dates. However, the accused Patrick Osoi, Hiram Kimathi, and Jackson Kuria Kihara (widely known as Cop Shakur) did not attend the session, either physically or virtually.
Following an application by the prosecution, the court issued warrants of arrest to compel their attendance in subsequent proceedings.
Next Steps
The case will be mentioned again once the accused persons are presented before court. The issuance of warrants underscores the judiciary’s stance on ensuring compliance with court processes, particularly in matters involving politically sensitive movements.
