Deputy Inspector General of Police Eliud Lagat has been given the authority to return to work.
This was after an application seeking conservatory orders blocking him from accessing his office or using any facilities of the National Police Service was withdrawn.
The application was related to the ongoing investigations of blogger Albert Ojwang’s death, who died in police custody, where he was allegedly related to it.
“The application is withdrawn as prayed. We will mention the matter on the 10th for directions on the main petition”, Justice Diana Kavedza said.
Blogger Ojwang had been arrested after allegedly posting defamatory content about DIG Lagat on social media.
According to IG Douglas Kanja, Lagat had filed a formal complaint against the blogger, which led to his arrest.
Later on, the blogger was found severely injured at the hospital and pronounced dead shortly afterwards.
