The Kenyan government is seeking to extradite Sancho Kibutu, a fugitive wanted in the United States for a fatal drunk-driving conviction. Kibutu appeared before Milimani Law Courts in Nairobi to begin extradition proceedings following his arrest in Runda, Nairobi County. The U.S. authorities filed a formal extradition request on December 3, 2019, requesting Kibutu's surrender.
Kibutu had been living in Kenya since October 11, 2013, after failing to appear for sentencing on October 28, 2013, in California. He was arrested on September 9, 2026, and appeared before a Kenyan magistrate, who declined to release him pending further directions.
