The High Court has ordered the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and Acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli to stop any further access to Wanjigi’s Muthaiga residence.
The raid, which occurred last month, was part of an investigation involving Wanjigi, who has been linked to recent anti-government protests. During this raid, police reportedly confiscated several high-value items from Wanjigi’s home.
Wanjigi claims that among the items taken were expensive rings, necklaces, watches, high-end mobile phones, and cash. The total value of these items is estimated to be around KSh 5.2 million.
