Gicheru told the court that ICC officers visited his office after the court had requested him to stop representing key witnesses who had recanted their evidence. He claimed in the affidavit that he was regularly briefed by former ICC Prosecutor Luis Moreno Ocampo, who dictated to him the nature of evidence he should give. At the High Court, Gicheru argued that it was that affidavit he prepared for his client that put him into trouble with the ICC. Three senior lawyers John Khaminwa, Waweru Gatonye and Kibe Mungai moved to court in 2015 to stop the arrest and extradition of the accused lawyers. The respondents lawyers moved to court and demanded that the orders be set aside and after lengthy submission a stay order was issued stopping the arrest of the two lawyers.
