An illegal detention case against two police officers will now be mentioned on May 5,2025.
The matter was pushed to that date when it came for pre_trial today after the court was informed that the magistrate handling the matter was absent today.
The complainant in the case has written a complaint to the office of the Ombudsman on the conduct of prosecutors in this case.
In her complain letter to the office of of the Ombudsman,Ayni Hussein Mahammud claims that a prosecutor at the Milimani Law courts is conflicted and is tempering with her case hence denying her justice.
The letter in our possession is dated April 22, 2025 and is addressed to the Commission Secretary/CEO commission on administrative of Justice at the office of the Ombudsman.
She claims that state counsel Norah Atieno who is the state Counsel handling criminal case No.EO17/2025 at Milimani Court number 1 is conflicted and dangerous to her case.
” Regrettably, the conduct of the prosecutor raise serious concerns regarding bias, conflict of interest, and professional misconduct, I am the victim in the case and an incident stemming back from December 31, 2021 raise serious concerns.
The plea in my case has been deferred twice in previous days and each time by 30 days without reasonable explanation.
This delays have caused undue psychological distress and impeded the administrative of justice,” read the letter in parts.
She said that she tried to raise the issue with the Nairobi Regional ODPP mrs.Dorcus Rugut who declined to assust him and directed the matter back to Norah Atieno who also refused to listen and directed him to lodge a complain at the ODPP headquarters.
” Mrs. Atieno falsely claimed that i had reported this case to multiple institutions. This is incorrect and misleading statement for clarity,” he said.
She said that she struggled getting justice from the IPOA and since the State counsel is tempering with his case, she wants serious investigations done into the conduct of her behaviours and a close monitoring of the case to enhance transparency.
In the case two police officer Rebecca Njeri Muraya who was the Officer Commanding Station(OCS) for Eastleigh North Police Station was charged together with her colleague, Sergeant Abdisalam Ahmed, before Milimani Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina.
The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) investigated the matter four years ago and sent the findings to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, recommending the prosecution of the two officers.
They had so far denied torturing Ayni Hussein Mahammud by locking her up at Muthaiga Police Station for two days beginning December, 31, 2021.
