Ronald Ayiera, the owner of Rans Security Services has withdrawn the charges he filed against Supreme Court Judge Mohammed Ibrahim.
One of his guards, Charles Onguso, had accused the judge of losing his temper during a heated disagreement at his Spring Valley home before brandishing a gun and chasing him away.
Nyoro withdrew the claim in a letter to Gigiri Division Criminal Investigation Office (DCIO) stating that he had since reconciled with Justice Ibrahim.
“I Donald Ayiera Nyoro ID number 22****** wish to indicate that I have withdrawn the above matter which was reported in Spring Valley Police Sation and later forwarded to the DCIO Gilgil Division.
"We have reconciled under article 159(2) (c) of the Kenyan Constitution. The issue is marked as settled,” read the letter from Nyoro.
Initially, Nyoro’s lawyer, Kennedy Nyambega, stated that Ibrahim had called his client around midnight, demanding that the guard assigned to his house be changed with immediate effect.
Confirming that there was a disagreement, Justice Ibrahim, however, denied brandishing a gun.
“I don’t even have a firearm license, and neither do I own a gun,” he told the Nation. “I believe that it’s out of that exchange that the supervisor thought I was threatening him and went to file a report with the police. I have no reason at all to threaten a watchman. I have no gun and I have never had one,” he added.
Ibrahim disclosed to The Star that he confronted the guard because he had been allowing strangers to use a toilet in his compound without permission.
The lawyer disputed the judge's explanation, arguing that his client would not have rushed to a police station in the wee hours of the morning without a valid reason.
