Chiba taken to court

The AFP journalist was on Monday November 6th produced before Kiambu Senior Principal Magistrate Stella Atambo.

The charging of Mr. Chiba was deferred by the Kiambu Court after his lawyer raised concerns that the charge sheet was defective. Lawyer Harun Ndubi who was appearing for the AFP journalist requested the court to defer the charge in order the anomaly in the charge sheet can be rectified.

The court also accepted lawyer’s request but also demanded that that the suspect deposit his passport in the court saying he was a flight risk
