Shock in Court as Witness Collapses Before Testimony in Maina Njenga’s Case
On Monday, moments before being summoned to testify in the case involving former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga, a witness in that case collapsed in court.
The witness, who had been given a Bible in anticipation of their testimony and was about to take the oath at the Nakuru Law Courts, went unconscious abruptly.
As a result of the unforeseen occurrence, the court proceedings were expeditiously adjourned to allow for the provision of first aid to the witness.
Despite the occurrence, the case persisted for a period of five months.
Despite the witness being excused from providing testimony, the prosecution consented to proceed with the case.
Whether the witness would provide her testimony at a later time or date was not specified at the time.
The witness was poised to provide an answer regarding Maina Njenga’s July detention, during which he was suspected of possessing crude weapons.
