Milimani High Court Judge Francis Andayi is in mourning after his wife, Mwajuma Mohammed, passed on while receiving treatment at The Mater Hospital on Tuesday night, January 28.
In a report by K24 Digital, the judge's wife developed complications after travelling from their home in Kakamega, leading to her admission at the hospital.
“She developed physical weakness after arriving in Nairobi from her matrimonial home in Kakamega on Tuesday evening. We took her to hospital, but, sadly, she lost her life while receiving treatment at The Mater Hospital,” remarked a source who spoke to K24 Digital.
The source further revealed that the burial was set for Friday, January 31 in Kakamega County.
On Tuesday, January 28, Andayi made a ruling for the release a supporter for Embakasi MP Babu Owino who had been arrested after attempting to create chaos during a bail ruling for the MP.
On Monday, January 27, the judge ruled in favour of Babu releasing him on a Ksh10 million bail after his arrest over allegedly shooting a DJ at a popular club in Nairobi.
In his ruling Milimani Chief Magistrate Francis Andayi, set out several other conditions for the legislators' release, key among them being that the money would be paid to the court in four installments and will be used to clear all the bills the DJ would incur in the best medical facilities until he recovered fully.
The Judge went on to read out several other conditions for Babu's release, one of them being his decision to bar him from consuming alcohol or any other form of narcotic for the duration of his court case.
