Friday, August 9, 2024 - On Thursday night, a contingent of heavily armed police officers broke into the home of prominent businessman and billionaire Jimmy Wanjigi after he was ordered to surrender.
The rogue
police officers had a hard time breaking the expensive door before accessing
his home, where they conducted a search without a court order and harassed his
family.
The night
raid was conducted after acting Inspector
General of Police Gilbert Masengeli appealed to the businessman to surrender to
police over claims of funding anti-government protests.
According to the acting IG,
Wanjigi is suspected of funding Thursday’s ‘Nane Nane’ demonstrations.
He claimed that police trailed a motorcade
belonging to the businessman towards his residence where one was intercepted
outside the gate as others made their way inside the compound and the gate was
closed.
A search conducted in the car led to the
recovery of grenades and tear gas canisters.
