A suspect accused of being behind an attack in Dadaab, Garissa County where two people were attacked with machetes and sustained serious injuries during last year's election has finally been arraigned in a Garissa court.
Ahmed Muhummed Abdi alias "Ahmed Cheetah" was accused that on 9th August last year, he caused bodily harm to one Abuhereira Rashid Sheikh contrary to section 251 of the penal code.
The accused denied the charges while appearing before Principal Magistrate James Masika and was released on a cash bail of Shs. 20,000.
His lawyer C.P Onono requested that his client be released on cash bail claiming he was not a flight risk which the prosecution objected.
The case will come up for mention on 24th of May this year.
