Sonko was presented at the Milimani law courts on Monday to answer to graft charges at City Hall.

This follows his arrest in Voi on Friday after DPP Noordin Haji ordered that Sonko be charged with Sh357m fraud alongside several other City Hall officials.

The Nairobi city boss hired a high profile team of 12 legal advisors for his defense in court.

Also spotted in court was Embakasi East MP Babu Owino and Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot.

Sonko was transferred from the EACC headquarters under tight police security and arrived at the Milimani Law Court some minutes to 8 am.

The milimani law courts and adjacent areas has been cordoned off.

A contingent of heavily armed security personnel has been deployed around the court with the roads leading to the area sealed off and traffic re-directed to other adjacent roads.

Police have warned his supporters planning to demonstrate that they will be dealt with accordingly.
