Just days after being cleared by the Director of Public Prosecutions of murder investigations, a Court of Appeal judge has trained his guns on top police brass over what he called an 'unnecessarily dramatised' arrest which injured his reputation.

Justice Sankale Ole Kantai has sued the Inspector General of Police (IG) and Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) over the February 21, 2020 arrest in connection to the controversial death of Dutch businessman Tob Cohen. For 11 months, the Judge reported at DCI initially on a weekly basis and later monthly, a total of 12 times.
