Proceedings
June 6th, 2023 (Mention): The matter was slated for mention so that the court can be updated on the progress made in locating the 1st accused.
The new IO (CI Inoti has been re-assigned) informed court that
he is new to this case and required more time to locate the 1st accused. He assured court he had now appraised himself fully with the matter and that he has taken details of surety, passport details of the 1st accused and details of the land used to secure the accused person’s bond.
This details according to the IO would enable him follow up with the land’s registry and immigration’s department and lastly locate the surety.
The court granted the IO one month with the option of the case being mentioned as soon as the 1st accused is apprehended (even if it is tomorrow).
It was learned that the 1st accused did attend court faithfully throughout the subsistence of the case without fail but on the day the matter was initially slated for sentencing (or judgement?) he never returned at the
time allocated by court for sentencing and was never to be seen again.
He further stated that, the 1st accused did build a good rapport for dutifully attending court and this enabled him have his passport
returned to him prematurely.
