A Nakuru court has allowed the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to withdraw charges against former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga and 11 co-accused.

Njenga had faced accusations of leading the outlawed Mungiki gang, plotting criminal activities on 11 May 2023, and possessing firearms, ammunition, and cannabis.

Principal Magistrate Kipkurui Kibelion discharged Njenga and the co-accused, ordering the refund of their cash bail of Sh50,000 each.
