Baby Sagini was on Wednesday, December 21, reunited with his mother after she was released from police custody.

In the company of the police, Maureen Nyaboke was allowed to visit her son at the Kisii Eye hospital even as the three-year-old was put under protective custody.

The police explained that Baby Sagini and his sister had been put under the protection of the police as they feared for the life of the children given the incident that caused an uproar among Kenyans.

Various reports intimated that the family was transferred to an undisclosed location in Nairobi for fear of possible retaliation from the family.

The police indicated that the mother was released after she was grilled by detectives based in Kisii over her involvement in the matter.

During the interrogations, the mother was questioned about her whereabouts on the fateful day when Sagini's eyes were gouged out.

According to the police, Nyaboke left the two children at their home as she went to work.

Meanwhile, detectives stated that they would finalise their preliminary investigations against two suspects that had been arrested earlier in the week.

Police intimated that the two suspects would be arraigned before a court of law on Friday, December 23 to take a plea.

On the other hand, former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko revealed that he was researching on health centres in China with the possibility of having the three-year-old undergo eye surgery.

"I also intend to engage the Nairobi County Government to recommend eye specialists from Mbagathi Hospital to also do a separate review of baby Sagini.

"Thereafter, I will forward the two reports to China after which we shall team up and coordinate with leaders from Kisii and fly him to C-MER (Shenzhen) Dennis Lam Eye Hospital in South China for implants," he stated.
