Nairobi — Three police officers based at the Kamukunji Police Station in Nairobi were Thursday charged in for facilitating the escape of a suspect charged with an offense of kidnapping a police officer with an intention to murder.

"Completion of investigations into the escape of a kidnapping suspect from police custody who was found missing from police cells on May 13, 2020 has led to the arrest of three Kamukunji-based police officers, all having been on duty at the escape time frame."

Wasike has been charged with kidnapping Misati who has been declared missing by Kamukunji Officer Commanding Police Station Samir Yunus and family lawyer Alfred Nyandieka.

The release of the three police officers on a free bond was however, protested by Misati's lawyer who said the seriousness of the matter did not warrant the terms given.

The court directed that the three police officers will be remanded at Muthaiga Police station if they do not raise the bail terms.
