Wednesday,
July 17, 2024 - Former
Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Eric Theuri has described Kenyan police
officers as the most foolish in the world after veteran journalist Macharia
Gaitho was abducted at Karen Police Station where he had sought refuge on Wednesday..
Gaitho, who
was being driven by his son, saw a car trailing him and as a good citizen, he
went to Karen Police Station to seek help and instead of being helped he was
abducted.
Rogue Karen
police officers bundled him into a probox and after a public outcry they
released him saying it was a case of mistaken identity.
In a social media post, Theuri said it is a great shame for
the police to abduct someone who went there to seek refuge.
He said if
this trend continues, the rule of law may
spiral out of control.
“A person drives into a police
station on noticing he's being tracked. Instead of getting police protection,
he's abducted.
“Later, it turns out he was
'arrested' by mistake.
“Yet they had time &
opportunity to verify before his arrest!! The actions of the police are making
us all unsafe.
“A time will come when they lose
legitimacy. The rule of law may spiral out of control if we don't stop,” Theuri
wrote on his X on Wednesday.
