A city lawyer linked to the infamous Sh1.49 billion heist at Equity Bank that shocked the country last year has been arraigned in court, with the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) seeking 21 days to conclude investigations.

Esther Bitutu Kadiki, an advocate of the High Court, was presented before Milimani Chief Magistrate Lucas Onyina with the DCI detectives requesting three additional weeks to detain her while finalising the probe into the matter.
