Omondi appeared in court on Monday, where he faced charges of obstructing motorists by allegedly offloading 120 empty plastic jerricans along Kimathi Street in the city center.
The prosecution claims the incident, which occurred on May 18, interfered with the normal flow of traffic and violated provisions of the Kenya Roads Act.
According to court documents, the comedian is accused of using an Isuzu lorry to transport and unload the empty 10-litre jerricans on a busy section of the road, causing disruption to motorists and other road users. Authorities argue that the act amounted to an unlawful obstruction of a public roadway.
The case has attracted widespread attention, not only because of Omondi’s celebrity status but also due to the circumstances surrounding his arrest.

The comedian was reportedly arrested on June 5 shortly after arriving at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), an operation that his legal team described as unnecessary and excessive.
Leading his defense team was Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, who strongly criticized the charges and questioned the motives behind the arrest.

Speaking outside the courtroom, Owino argued that the case lacked merit and accused authorities of targeting Omondi for reasons unrelated to the allegations before the court.
The legislator also raised concerns about the seizure of Omondi’s mobile phones during the arrest.

According to the defense, confiscating the devices made little sense given the nature of the offense being investigated.
“What connection do his phones have with allegations of placing empty jerricans on a road?” one of the lawyers posed, suggesting that investigators had overstepped their mandate.
