Acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli has snubbed summons issued by the High Court for the sixth time.
Instead, he sent the Deputy Inspector General of Kenya Police Service Eliud Lagat on his behalf.
Masengeli was required to avail himself before the court on Monday, September 9, 2024, over the disappearance of three people in Kitengela.
However, his legal team defended their client stating that he is currently away on duty in Wajir County.
On his part, former LSK President Nelson Havi called High Court Judge Lawrence Mugambi to hold Masengeli, in contempt of court.
