'' The responsibility vested on advocates as court officials and human rights defenders places them at high risk of possible attacks, it is in this regard that we urge the national government to put in place proper measures to ensure that advocates, magistrate, judges, and all court officials are provided with security,'' read the statement from LSK Secretary Mercy Wambua.

Nyakeri was rushed to Sinai Hospital before he was then transferred to Kenyatta National Hospital where he was pronounced dead on arrival.
