Six Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) officers involved in the disappearance of Nakuru Fisherman Brian Odhiambo have a case to answer.
This is after the Court today charged the six who include Francis Wachira, Alexander Lorogoi, Isaac Ochieng Odhiambo, Michael Wabukala, Evans Kimaiyo, and Abdulrahaman Ali Sudi with abducting Odhiambo on 18th January 2025, in Bondeni, Nakuru East Sub-County, with alleged intent to secretly and wrongfully confine him.
Appearing at the Nakuru Law High Court before Hon Kibelion, they denied the charges.
The prosecution led by Counsel Win Kihumba and Dan Smith Mbalasi presented evidence in court indicating Odhiambo was arrested during an operation at Lake Nakuru National Park and subsequently went missing while in the custody of the accused officers.
At the close of the prosecution’s case, the court found that sufficient evidence existed to require the accused to enter their defence.
The hearing for the defence is set for 8th of June 2026.
“The intermediate ruling underscored the DPP’s commitment to upholding the rule of law and ensuring that even state officers are held accountable when implicated in criminal acts,” the DPP stated after today’s session.
