The two prominent opposition figures have stormed the precincts to secure the release of political activist Bob Njagi, whose recent arrest has sparked widespread public outrage.
The courtroom atmosphere remains highly charged as legal teams prepare to argue for Njagi’s case. Senior lawyers have gathered in solidarity, turning the court session into a focal point of national attention.
Taking to social media shortly after his arrival, Orengo has strongly condemned the state's actions, terming the charges against Njagi as trumped-up" fabrications designed to silence critics.
Accompanied by Babu Owino, Orengo has noted that they would remain at the courts until justice is served.
The presence of these heavyweights underscores the gravity of the situation, signaling a coordinated pushback against what the opposition views as a growing trend of state-sponsored lawlessness.
Key Figures present include; James Orengo Siaya Governor / Senior Counsel, Babu Owino (Embakasi East MP) and Bob Njagi (Activist)
Njagi’s arrest which happened on recent demonstration amidst heightened political tensions in the country, where the line between law enforcement and political policing has increasingly blurred.
His supporters maintain that his detention is a direct retaliation for his outspoken views and activism.
By stepping in directly, Orengo and Owino are not only offering legal and political muscle but are also sending a clear message: the fight for civic space is far from over.
All eyes now remain fixed on the magistrate to see whether the court will uphold constitutional freedoms or bend to external pressures.
