Addressing the issue, police spokesman Charles Owino reiterated that the withdrawal was part of a recall of 5,000 officers who were intially attached to VIPs in excess.

“In the case of Sonko we only took what is in excess and left the maximum number of security as required. So he has sufficient security,” said Owino.
