Published on July 7, 2020, a Nairobi court ordered a retrial for former Kenyan international rugby players Alex Olaba and Frank Wanyama, who were found guilty of gang rape charges in 2019.
On August 16, 2019, chief magistrate Martha Mutuku of Milimani law courts handed the two a 15-year jail sentence for the offense of gang rape against a musician on February 10, 2018, at a house party at Seefar apartments in Nyayo Highrise estate.
However, the high court has since ordered a retrial of the case, and the two players have been released on a cash bail of Sh300,000 by a Milimani Law Court magistrate Zainab Abdul.
