Azimio leader Raila Odinga staged a walk-in at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters on Kiambu Road where former CS Fred Matiang’i was after presenting himself for grilling over the alleged raid at his Karen home.
Raila arrived shortly before 3pm under heavy security but was denied entry into the premises. Mr Odinga insisted that he has a right to access the area since it’s a public office
A crowd gathered outside could be heard chanting “No Matiang’i, no peace!”
Raila was accompanied by Senator Edwin Sifuna who was also denied entry.
Meanwhile, Dr Matiang’i’s legal team had earlier told the Nation that it gave the detectives an ultimatum to either charge him or they walk out. Earlier, his lawyers had advised the former CS not to respond to some questions asked by detectives at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations on Kiambu Road, leading the police to threaten arrest.
Minutes after Mr Odinga’s arrival, Dr Matiang’i’s legal team said that the former CS had been released, adding that the police will issue him with a notice to appear in court.
