Danstan Omari, one of the lawyers defending Central Police Station OCS Samson Talaam, has raised concerns over the OCS's phone being used to extort money from the public.

Speaking in court, the senior lawyer demanded that the Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA) explain how this was possible, given that the authority was the custodian of the device.

Reportedly, the phone had been used to solicit Ksh80,000 from Cliff Ombeta, who also represents the OCS, and an unidentified amount from his family.

As such, he called for the IPOA commissioners and lead investigators to be summoned to explain the situation.
