Police Raid Jimmy Wanjigi Office

Police are still at the offices of businessman and politician Jimi Wanjigi in Nairobi. 

The officers raided there last evening seeking to have him record a statement over a land case they have been investigating. 

Wanjigi termed the raid political. He was in the office at the Kwacha House when the incident happened. 

He was holed up there for hours and it is not clear if he managed to leave.

Wanjigi said the incident was politically orchestrated due to his political stand. 

 Wanjigi, who has declared intention to vie for the Presidency in the upcoming August elections, vowed that he would not be intimidated, adding last night’s raid mirrored a similar incident where his house was raided by police during the 2017 election season.

Wanjigi says DCI detectives arrived at his Kwacha Group of Companies offices in Westlands, Nairobi and demanded to personally see him.

After gaining access into the premises, the armed officers reportedly declined to address his lawyers and instead ordered that he accompanies them to record a statement without disclosing what the matter was about.
