likely to cause breach of peace.

The second, third and fourth suspects were

another matter where they were charged with

the similar charge.

While the fifth suspect Ouma Ogonji

disappeared like thin air and switched off his

phone making it difficult for his lawyer to

inform him as the rest of the suspects were

freed on a bond of 50,000

It is alleged on 16th October 2019 at kihingo

Village Waridi Gardens in Kitusuru Estate within

Nairobi County jointly with others not before the

Court created disturbance in a manner likely to

cause breach of peace by forcefully breaking

the doors of a server room and chasing away

Wells Fargo security guards who were manning

the said facility.

The second, third, fourth and the fifth accused

were jointly charged with second count of

malicious damage to property of the same

facility.

The Officers of the Court representing the

complainant Prof George Wajakoyah and

Duncan Okatch in their brief submission urged

the court to deny the suspects bond until plea

is taken since the suspects were a flight risks

and demonstrated before court by jumping bail.
