Court to review ruling on Wanjigi's casual labourers' case

The court will today decide whether to review a ruling that ordered the detention of two casual labourers allegedly found with grenades outside Jimi Wanjigi's home in Muthaiga last week.

A magistrate had allowed police to detain them for seven days but Wanjigi's lawyers asked for a review of the ruling.

According to lawyer Willis Otieno, the state said they recovered the explosives near Wanjigi’s residence, and therefore the two persons should be released.

Otieno told the court that persons who allegedly planted the explosives in the car and in Wanjigi’s house were captured by CCTV.

He claimed police officers did it, hence no compelling reasons to detain the two because Wanjigi had taken it up.
