Kenya: Students of Nairobi Aviation College arrested on Monday after they stormed a media house were on Tuesday ordered to deposit Sh3.1 million to secure their freedom. Milimani Resident Magistrate Miriam Mugure directed 14 of the students to deposit Sh200,000 each or alternatively execute a Sh400,000 bond after they pleaded not guilty to three counts. He was ordered to deposit Sh300,000 or execute a bond of Sh500,000 with one surety. There was a High Court order preventing the defendants from airing the alleged story," he said. He added: "The students were made aware of the court order and they were peacefully protesting against non-compliance of the said order," Ngacho argued.
