Eight suspects accused of torching Mawego Police Station in Rachuonyo North Sub-County were on Tuesday arraigned at the Kahawa Law Courts, where they were formally charged with terrorism-related offences.
The suspects were previously held under custodial orders issued by the Oyugis Law Court before being re-arrested on July 14, 2025, following the closure of a miscellaneous application. They were then transferred to the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit (ATPU) headquarters in Nairobi for further processing.
At the Kahawa Law Courts, the suspects were charged under the Prevention of Terrorism Act No. 30 of 2012 and the Penal Code.
The charges included commission of a terrorist act, arson, and malicious damage to property.
