STORAGE CHARGESAdvertisementThe DCI stated that the commission was seeking time to consult Apewajoye’s kin in Nigeria before Ms Matete is allowed to bury him. Ms Matete is, however, yet to know the fate on the investigation by the DCI’s homicide unit that has been seeking to unravel the circumstances in which the fire that led to Apewajoye’s death occurred.
