“The tragedy that happened on November 19 which is now closer to three months has shocked not only Ethiopians but Kenyans. It took place in broad daylight in Kileleshwa in the presence of the public and traffic police and we have not seen our national Samson Teklemichael since then,” he said.

Earlier, the businessman’s wife, Milen Mezgebo through an application filed under a certificate of urgency called on the Inspector General of Police Hilary Mutyambai to produce the body of her spouse.

Through lawyer Stanley Kangahi, Mezgebo sought to have the court to stop the State from deporting Teklemichael but to instead free him.
