Advocate
Hudson Ndusyepo who is representing Mr Manji and his co-suspects
Deogratius Kisinda and Thobias Fwere, filed an application at the High
Court yesterday asking the higher authority to intervene in the matter,
preferably to order the release of his clients after being held at the
central police station from Saturday without being arraigned to court
nor granted bail.
However, according to advocate
Ndusyepo his client, Mr Manji is currently at Muhimbili National
Hospital getting treatment while under police supervision.
This
is the second time for Mr Manji to file such an application within this
year, asking the court to order the government to charge him to the
court after being held for several days, of which the first time was in
March this year where he was being held by the immigration department in
Dar es Salaam for several days due to the issues of his citizenship.
However,
on the day of the hearing of his application before judge Ama-Isario
Munisi, his lawyers informed the court that his client had already
released by the immigration and asked to withdraw the application.
Mr
Manji and his co-suspects are currently held by the police forces for
allegedly being found in possession of JWTZ official uniforms.
The
lawyer filed the application yesterday against the Attorney General
(AG), Inspector General of Police and Zonal Crime Officer.
According
to the affidavit supporting the application which is sworn by his
advocate Mr Ndusyepo, he told the court that, the applicants were
arrested in different time and being held by the zonal crime Officer.
According
to the affidavit, Mr Kisinda was arrested on June 30 2017, meanwhile
Manji was arrested on July I at the Quality Centre building and all are
still being held by the police forces until now.
