Supreme Court Judge Mohammed Ibrahim has written to lawyer Ahmednassir Abdullahi demanding an apology for publishing defamatory words against him over the Wajir gubernatorial election petition.
Justice Ibrahim, through his lawyer Wambua Kilonzo, has given Senior Counsel Ahmednassir seven days to retract the words published on his Twitter account and offer an apology, failure to which he will move to court.
The judge said a day before the top court delivered its judgment on the election petition, Mr Ahmednassir wrote to him a message on WhatsApp alleging that there were rumors that the Supreme Court judges were receiving money in sacks and bags.
The message went on to claim that Justice Ibrahim was the only judge in the top court, who has not been mentioned even for once, for taking money but his accusation was that he was not firm and strong.
