Baba, a batik dying designer, pleaded not guilty and the court presided over by Mr Francis Obiri remanded him into prison custody to reappear on September 24.

DSP Morkeh said on August 28, 2011 at about 0230 hours four masked armed men with pump action gun, a cutter and hammer, broke into the complainant’s house.
According to DSP Morkeh, the armed men ordered the complainant and his siblings to lie down. The complainant, however, refused to obey the orders of the armed men hence he was beaten with the pump action gun and he sustained injuries on his head.
During the act, the complainant identified Baba among them.
