His co-accused have been remanded to Makindye Military barracks until the 24th April 2018 when they re-appear in court for the hearing.
Kipoi was extradited from Botswana at the end of February 2018 where he had fled upon jumping bail in his treason case .
In Botswana, authorities apprehended him for defrauding natives of millions of money while disguising as a witch doctor.
