The National Police Service (NPS) has issued a stern condemnation of mob justice, warning that citizens taking the law into their own hands undermines Kenya’s justice system and risks plunging the country into anarchy.

“It is unacceptable for individuals to act as arresting agency, jury, and executioner,” said NPS Spokesperson Muchiri Nyaga during a press briefing.
