A Marsabit court has ruled Lang'ata police can use reasonable force to remove two children from their divorced mother's home in Nairobi and enrol them in a Nanyuki school near their father. Senior resident magistrate Mbayaki Wafula ordered that the two children, aged 10 and nine, be readmitted immediately to Brickwoods School in Nanyuki. "Let the OCS Lang'ata police station and any other police station within the proximity of the children ensure compliance, including the use of reasonable force where necessary. The minors have been in the custody of their mother Ake Mohamed in Nairobi as granted by judge Said Chitembwe. "The trial court shall deal with where the children shall pursue their education but in the meantime, custody is granted to the mother," the judge ruled.
