Advocate Bernard Odero has been brought before the Kibera Law Courts facing forgery-related charges linked to transactions involving the Kenya County Government Workers Union. Initially, he was also supposed to face charges for assaulting police officers and resisting arrest on Friday, September 11, 2026. However, Odero's legal team successfully obtained High Court orders that prevented the prosecutor, Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Inspector General of Police (IG) from further arresting, detaining, or prosecuting him.
The orders also mandated his immediate and unconditional release if detained. The defense team cited the High Court's decision, emphasizing that the case involves civil matters and should not be treated as criminal proceedings. The court acknowledged the High Court orders and deferred the plea-taking, releasing Odero unconditionally as per the directives issued by Judge Bahati Mwamuye.
