The suspect, Moses Sikuku, 43, appeared before Senior Resident Magistrate Stephanie Bett at the Makadara Law Courts where he denied accusations of threatening to kill two officers.
He was released on a bond of Sh100,000 or an alternative cash bail of Sh50,000 as he awaits trial scheduled for February 9, 2026.
According to a police report, Sikuku stormed the police station on the evening of September 10, 2025, while carrying a panga.
Witnesses said he shouted insults and directed his anger at the station’s deputy OCS, Inspector Fisher Yego.
Officers allege that Sikuku threatened to cut off Yego’s head and even tried to attack them with the weapon before being restrained.
The officers stated that he refused several orders to surrender his panga.
After a tense standoff, they managed to disarm him and placed him in custody.
They hoped he would calm down overnight, but the following morning, he allegedly continued to make violent threats.
Police officers further told the court that Sikuku declared his intention to harm at least two officers whom he accused of interfering with his life.
The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) reviewed the evidence and approved charges of threatening to kill, which is considered a serious crime under Kenyan law.
During the hearing, Sikuku maintained his innocence and requested the court to grant him lenient bail terms.
His lawyer argued that he is a family man and not likely to abscond.
Magistrate Bett agreed to release him on strict conditions but warned that any further misconduct could lead to the cancellation of his bail.
The case has caused tension in Mukuru kwa Reuben, with locals expressing concern over the unusual confrontation.
Some residents suggested that the accused may have had unresolved personal issues with certain officers, while others called for patience and respect as the matter proceeds in court.
