He was charged with six counts, including forcefully attempting to break free one of the convicts who was sentenced to 20 years for drug peddling on June 2, 2017.
The second and third counts were trying to break out the two other convicts who had been jailed for 10 years and 5 years respectively.

Members of County Assembly (MCAs) were in for a rude shock after learning that the Kenya Revenue Authority is eyeing their car grant offered by President Uhuru Kenyatta.
KRA is seeking 30% of the Ksh2 million loan facility that was transformed into a grant, leaving the MCAs with Ksh 1.4 million each.
MCAs are now appealing to President Kenyatta to intervene, arguing that the money will not be adequate to purchase vehicles of their choice.
