Eight individuals suspected of torching the Mawego Police Station in Homa Bay County on July 3, 2025, have been released on bail. Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, acting as their lawyer, announced their release after their appearance at the Kahawa Law Courts.

• Each of the eight suspects was granted a cash bail of Ksh50,000.
• Babu Owino stated he would appeal the bail decision, citing the suspects' inability to afford the amount, which he believes amounts to pretrial detention for fishermen and Bodaboda riders from Homa Bay County.
• The suspects were initially arrested after a crowd, mourning the death of Albert Ojwang, protested at the police station, leading to structures being set ablaze.
• They were charged with terrorism-related offenses under the Prevention of Terrorism Act No. 30 of 2012 and the Penal Code, including commission of a terrorist act, arson, and malicious damage to property.
