There was drama at Machakos High Court after a woman abandoned her five children in protest at intrigues surrounding a land case.
The woman had won a case in which she had sued a man over the land only to learn that he had moved to a different court in Nairobi and obtained stay orders which are contradictory.
Angered by this development she decided to take her children to the court that had given her the land and abandoned them there in protest.
The case has been in Machakos High Court for over 15 years.
Elsewhere, a father of 13-year-old son, has sued the Director of Public Prosecution, the National Police Service, the Attorney General, the Senior Resident Magistrate at Kandara law courts as well as the OCS in a police station in the said area in bid to save son who has been accused of defiling his four year-old niece.
According to the parent, the dispute started last month, on February 22, when his wife came home from attending an all-night prayer session at around 5am. He claimed that she was shortly followed by police who accosted him while looking for their son.
He said the police agreed to release him when he promised to personally take his son at the Kawendo police station.
He claimed that he learnt that his brother’s wife had reported his son to the police for allegedly defiling her daughter on February 18 at around 7.30pm.
He claimed that the said offense was allegedly committed at their homestead which they all share.
He took his son to the police as agreed but he was immediately arrested and locked up over the weekend until February 25 when he was arraigned before a magistrate court.
