Five out of the eight police officers implicated in the escape of 13 suspects from Gigiri Police Station on Tuesday morning have been arraigned at the Milimani Law Courts, with investigators seeking to hold them for longer.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations asked Senior Principal Magistrate Martha Nanzushi to allow the lock up of Corporal Ronald Babo, Constable Evan Kipkirui, Constable Millicent Achieng, Constable Zachary Nyabuto and Constable Gerald Mutuku for 14 more days, saying it needed time to wrap up investigations into the case.
