According to the ODPP, the court heard that the accused was armed with a hammer during the incident, which she used to hit the victim.
The court ordered that the suspect be held without bond following a request from the prosecution, which argued that she posed a flight risk.
"Ms. Nabalyo was denied bond following a request by the prosecution, which detailed several grounds to the court, including demonstrating that she is not a Kenyan national and hence a flight risk who has been on the run since she committed the office in November 2024," the ODPP stated.
The matter has been scheduled for a hearing in March 2025.
