Director of Public Prosecution Noordin Haji yesterday dropped child trafficking charges against former Mama Lucy Hospital Superintendent Musa Mohammed. Musa will now become a State witness against his juniors, Fred Lepalan and Selina Awuor.
At the same time, the State called its first witness, a Good Samaritan who found the baby who would later be part of a BBC investigative story on a child theft syndicate in the country. Brian Muya, a lawyer, narrated to the court that on May 4, last year, he had gone to a party at a friend’s place in Industrial Area. At this time, the government had set the curfew at 7 pm.
