Blogger Nyakundi Embarrasses DCI In Court
The High Court on Thursday morning ruled that the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) entrapped controversial blogger Cyprian Nyakundi in the Ksh. 17.5 million extortion case.
In dismissing the case, Justice Antony Mrima said the evidence was illegally obtained and is inadmissible.
Nyakundi was in January charged alongside Emmanuel Nyamweya with attempting to extort Ksh. 17.5 million from Victoria Commercial bank in order to pull down libellous stories they had published on their website.
They had allegedly received a down payment of Ksh. 1 million from the victim by the time they were arrested by the detectives in connection with alleged extortion, blackmail and false accusations.
The two who appeared before Milimani Senior Principal Magistrate Kennedy Cheruiyot denied the charges.
