A man has been released from police custody yesterday (April 2) after being taken to the Criminal Court seven minutes past his legally allowed period of detention.
Local media reported that the police had arrested the individual on a drug case, and that he was allegedly one of the drug barons arrested earlier this year.
When authorities realised his detention period had expired, the man was released by police without charge.
According to the constitution, any person detained must be presented before a judge within 24 hours.

Seriously, what in damn hell is wrong with the courts? Are they plain darn stupid or what?
A very justified reason to let an alleged drug lord go free!
Amazing!
@Andrew Andreas: Now you know why the drug gangs rallied so hard to free their 'ablho gaazee'.
