Police in Kakamega have arrested seven suspects accused of running an illegal detention cell in Makaburini, where nine people were held, whipped, and tortured for consuming alcohol. The victims—both men and women—were crammed into a single room, denied access to the outside, and forced to relieve themselves in buckets. To buy their freedom, they had to pay a 300-shilling bribe to their self-appointed "discipline masters."
