It was a day of high drama at Magereza House offices yesterday afternoon when a contingent of officers stormed the prisons headquarters. The officers, in uniform and civilian wear, and under the command of Nairobi Area Head of Operations John Njoroge, arrived at around 4.30pm in a convoy of police cars.
