A British woman has lodged a formal complaint with Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja over what she described as unlawful detention at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA).
In documents obtained by Kenyans.co.ke, the lady alleges to have been arrested at the JKIA over a long-standing family dispute despite securing conservatory orders which explicitly prohibited any arrest, detention, or interference with her liberty.
The complainant alleges that on July 15, she was stopped at passport control in the presence of her husband and two children.
Despite presenting a High Court order, she was reportedly handed over to detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), where she spent eight hours in a holding office.
