The Milimani High Court has issued an order restraining advocate Nelson Havi from making any defamatory statements on social media platforms against city lawyer Danstan Omari.

High Court Judge Janet Mulwa, presiding over the civil division, directed that the matter will be heard on January 27, 2025, during the inter partes hearing.

The court’s order stated:
“Pending the hearing and determination of this application, an injunction is issued restraining the defendant, whether directly or through his agents, servants, or any other persons acting at his behest or under his instructions, from posting, publishing, disseminating, or facilitating the posting, publication, or dissemination of the words or images enumerated in paragraph (ii) of this motion, or making any statements of a similar nature, whether on his Twitter account styled as ‘Nelson Havi’ under the handle ‘@NelsonHavi,’ or via any other platform, medium, or forum, including television interviews, radio broadcasts, or public speeches, whether oral, written, electronic, or otherwise,” read the orders.

Last year, Omari issued a demand letter to the former president of the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), Nelson Havi, requesting him to withdraw defamatory statements made against him and lawyer Nyachoti on social media. Havi refused to comply, prompting Omari to file the lawsuit.
