Central Police Station OCS Chief Inspector Dishon Angoya has been released unconditionally following his dramatic arrest over the alleged release of Kenyans detained during the anti-fuel price protests in Nairobi.
Angoya had been taken into custody amid claims he authorised the release of dozens of suspects arrested during demonstrations linked to soaring fuel prices and nationwide transport unrest.
His arrest sparked intense debate within security circles, with questions emerging over whether proper legal procedures were followed and if the officer was being targeted over operational decisions made during the chaotic protests.
The development comes after Angoya was reportedly rushed to hospital while in custody after developing high blood pressure.
The case had attracted national attention as pressure mounted over the handling of protest-related arrests and police operations during the fuel price demonstrations.
