Uganda: Bomb Suspects’ Relatives Want Them in Kenyan Court

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Nairobi – As two Kenyans were being charged with terrorism in Kampala, their relatives moved to another court in Nairobi seeking orders that they are arraigned. The families have asked the High Court there to order Police Commissioner Mathew Iteere to appear before it with the warrant allowing him to arrest the two men and show why he should not release them.

In a suit filed at the High Court criminal registry, the relatives said officers from the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit arrested Mr Hussein Hassan Agade and Mr Christopher Magondu alias Idris Magondu on July 22 and 23, respectively. The relatives said Mr Magondu is said to have been detained at APTU offices along Hospital Road, Nairobi, Inland Port Container police station, Kileleshwa Police Station and other undisclosed police stations.

In a sworn affidavit in support of the families’ case, Mr Magondu’s wife, Ms Rosemary Saida, said more than 20 police officers wearing hoods ransacked her home in Kawangware at about 1.30am. They then handcuffed and blindfolded her husband before driving off with him.

In the course of arresting her husband, she says, the police officers ransacked the house, destroying households including sofas, the ceiling boards and poured everything in sight including foodstuffs.

In the affidavit, Ms Saida adds that the police officers confiscated all her personal belongings including her national identity card, family photo album and mobile phone. She adds that the police officers did not write an inventory of the items above that they had seized and confiscated.

The following day, she said, she searched for him at various police stations, in vain. But this did not stop the Nakawa Chief Magistrate, Mr Deo Sejjemba, from charging the two and another one – Muhamed Addow – with 89 offences. These include 3 counts of terrorism, 76 of murder and 10 of attempted murder. According to Mr Sejjemba, he did not have jurisdiction over the offences and remanded them till August 27.
