Echesa’s Lawyers Break Silence Amid ‘Theatrics’ Speculations.
Echesa’s Lawyers Break Silence Amid ‘Theatrics’ Speculations: Lawyer Danstan Omari has stood his ground saying his client, Rashid Echesa was seriously ill, an incident that prompted them to seek immediate medical attention.
Omari stated,”My client’s health deteriorated hence his admission to the hospital.”
Earlier, Echesa who had been detained at Muthaiga police cells since Thursday night, pleaded with the police to release him, in order for him to seek medical attention, but his efforts were seemingly in vain.
According to a letter written to the Inspector General of Police on March 29, Echesa through his lawyer Danstan Omari requested to be granted cash bail to “continue with his journey towards full recovery.”
The letter read, “This letter is to request the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to authorize the Officer Commanding Muthaiga Police Station to take our client to hospital so that his doctor can review his medical condition as had been directed in our client’s medical documents.”
Notably, Omari outlined that Echesa is being held on claims of Abduction and extortion but no report on the complainant has been issued.
Omari stated,”We have been allowed to see him. We understand they are investigating claims of extortion and abduction which we don’t know more about,”
“There is no complainant in this case. He is the one who reported the matter in the first place and now he has been reported here,” he added.
Echesa is currently receiving treatment at Karen Hospital under guard, due to a reported deterioration in his pneumonia and high cholesterol levels.
