Six men falsely charged in Equity Bank robbery walk away with Sh1.1m each
The signage of the Nyeri Law Courts in Nyeri town on September 8, 2022. High Court judge says the practice of arresting young men first and later deciding what charges to impose is not only barbaric but warrants judicial condemnation.
The High Court has upheld a compensation award to six individuals wrongly accused of involvement in a Sh30 million robbery at Equity Bank, ruling that police and prosecutors acted without evidence and violated their constitutional rights.
The court dismissed an appeal by the Attorney General and the Inspector-General of Police, affirming an award of Sh1.1 million to each claimant for unlawful arrest, detention and malicious prosecution. The total payout amounts to Sh6.6 million.
