Three days after their release on bond two members of parliament, two members of the Nairobi county assembly, two county employees and two personal assistants of a city lawmaker have gone into hiding to avoid arrest. Except for Mr Owino who was charged with engaging in subversion activities, no charges have been preferred against the other suspects. They outwitted the police dragnet on Friday after their release by camouflaging in Legio Maria outfits as they left the court precincts. Lawyers Njiru Ndegwa and Evans Ondieki filed a habeas corpus application seeking to compel police to produce Njenga in court. Njenga was whisked away on July 18, 2023 from his parents’ home in Nyandarua and his whereabouts remain a mystery.
