Kisii deputy governor Joash Maangi has been released from police custody unconditionally.
Maangi spent the night at Oyugis Police Station after being picked up by the police on Monday for allegedly planning to disrupt the burial of Simeon Nyachae.
The deputy county boss was nabbed at Kisii School moments before Deputy President William Ruto’s chopper landed.
