LSK President Nelson Havi arrested over assault allegations

Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Nelson Havi has been arrested over accusations that he assaulted suspended CEO Mercy Wambua.

According to LSK Vice-President Carolyne Kamende, Havi was arrested on Tuesday at his office and whisked to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) offices.

Wambua on Monday alleged that Havi assaulted her during a meeting at their Gitanga road offices in Nairobi.

Havi dismissed the claims saying Wambua forced her way into the boardroom while they were having a meeting with the intention of recording the proceedings.

Wambua, in the company of her lawyer Steve Ogolla, recorded a statement at the Muthangari Police Station stating that Havi allegedly accosted her in the boardroom where she was to have a meeting.

Havi, on the other hand, dismissed the assault claims blaming Wambua for interrupting an ongoing meeting at the boardroom with an intention of eavesdropping and secretly recording the proceedings.
