He added that the case before court against the six officers was spearheaded by civil society and not by prosecution as required by law.
He also insisted that the two boys jumped from a moving police land cruiser and the officers did not notice.

He told the court that the police land cruiser was never burnt as alleged by the prosecution.
Omari further treated the court into laughters after a police land cruiser is never full until there is no one to arrest.
“Let the court take judicial notice that, a police land cruiser can carry upto one hundred people, it is never full until there is no one to arrest”, he added.
He further told the court that police vehicles have no regulated carrying capacity like public transport vehicles.
