Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Lagat is free to return to work after an application seeking conservatory orders blocking him from accessing his office or using any facilities of the National Police Service was withdrawn on Wednesday.
The application related to the ongoing investigations into blogger and teacher Albert Ojwang's death in police custody was dismissed after the court was told that the situation had evolved beyond it.
Ojwang lost his life in early June under unclear circumstances, sparking national outrage.
Justice Diana Kavedza allowed the withdrawal of the application after she was informed that the matter had been overtaken by events.
