The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has swooped in on 24 suspects in connection with the torching of the Kikuyu Law Courts, Kikuyu Sub-County offices and other government facilities.
In a statement released on Friday, June 27, DCI revealed the arrests were made after the chaos witnessed during the June 25 protests. Besides setting the court ablaze, the suspects were also linked with the destruction of other valuable property such as vehicles, tractors and tuktuks.
According to the DCI report, the suspects were arraigned before the Chief Magistrate's Court at the Ruiru Law Courts, where the sleuths were able to obtain a 14-day custodial order to complete their investigations. During the protests, suspected goons broke into the Kikuyu Law Courts and set it on fire, in addition to completely vandalising the judicial facility.
The goons also descended upon the Deputy County Commissioner's (DCC) office, which was also set on fire.
