On Thursday, Inspector General of Police Japhet Koome stated that no officer from the National Police Service was dispatched to Matiangi’s house on Wednesday night.
In the late hours of Wednesday night, police officers surrounded the home of former Interior Secretary Fred Matiang’i, seeking to arrest him.
Matiang’i’s legal team, who were also present, claimed his life was in danger.
The Azimio La Umoja coalition leader Raila Odinga arrived at Matiang’i’s Karen residence at 10 PM seeking to block his arrest.
“We will not allow the dark days of repression to return. We shall stand with him to the end. I am not leaving Dr. Matiangi’s home tonight until this matter is resolved. He can count on our support and solidarity as Azimio.”
