High court judge Lawrence Mugambi was on Thursday afternoon forced to retreat to his chambers after activists started protesting in court demanding the arrest of acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli over the case of missing persons.
The judge was writing his ruling when two men, one with a placard and another, started shouting in court, demanding Masengeli's arrest.
Masengeli had been directed to appear in court at 3pm to shed light on the disappearance of the three youths but he didn't.
His legal team told the court that the Masengeli is still in Mombasa for a security operation and will proceed to Lamu thereafter.
He requested to have the matter proceed virtually and agreed to be present.
But the court took issue with his conduct and proceeded to write a brief ruling on the same until it was interrupted by the 'activists'.
This will be the fourth time Masengeli has snubbed the court directions.
