Corporal Fredrick Okapesi challenges a court directive requiring him to surrender Arms Movement Registers for the Rex Kanyike Masai death inquest. The Central Police Station armourer filed an application seeking judicial review of the September ruling. He represents the National Police Service in contesting the order. Okapesi argues the directive breaches Evidence Act procedures and compromises sensitive security data.
The officer fears document tampering while records remain under IPOA control. He claims the court failed to record his initial objections during proceedings. The challenge invokes constitutional fair hearing rights under Article 50. Proceedings have been postponed until October 30 following this development, while the inquest examines Masai's death during the 2024 Finance Bill protests on Moi Avenue.
