My life is in danger, woman tells court is a suit against police officers
A British woman has sued two police officers with prayers to be protected from harassment and threats to her life.
This is after the officers, Rebeccah Njeri Muraya, the OCS in Eastleigh North and her junior Sergeant Abdisalam Ahmed, were charged in the magistrate’s court with torture and abuse of office.
Still, the matter was later withdrawn before the commencement of the hearing.
The complainant, Ayni Mahammud sought the High Court’s intervention after the magistrates’ court admitted the plea by the prosecution to withdraw the matter she complained of torture and illegal detention by Eastleigh North Police Station OCS jointly with her junior.
According to the DPP, the matter was withdrawn on double jeopardy since the officers had already been subjected to disciplinary action by the Internal Affairs Unit (IAU).
They also expressed a lack of confidence in their ability to discharge the burden based on the evidence in their possession.
