Raila Claims Police Detained Him at Jimmy Wanjigi's House

Opposition leader Raila Odinga claims that police temporarily detained him at billionaire businessman Jimi Wanjigi’s house on Tuesday night.

Speaking to the media at Wanjigi's residence on Wednesday, the National Super Alliance (NASA) leader condemned the raid on Wanjigi's home despite an order by the blocking police from accessing the premise.

On his part, Jimmy Wanjigi termed the 72 hours raid on his house as unjustified and complete fabrication. He said that the fire arms seized from the house were all licensed.

“I am an innocent man whatever was being publicized is a fabrication, the firearms that were found in my home were licensed, “said Jimi Wanjigi.

The businessman said that no amount of intimidation would deter him from supporting former Prime Minister Raila Odinga and called on Kenyans to rally behind him.

“This home was totally vandalized, it was wanton destruction of private property - this behavior shows that state is a rogue and it started after Supreme Court ruling on presidential election, “ Raila who spent the night at Wanjigi’s home in Muthaiga said.

Wanjigi’s Lawyers led by Siaya Senator James Orengo said they will sue Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinett and Director of Public Prosecution Keriako Tobiko for contempt of court.

Orengo accused police of disregarding high court’s order and went ahead to raid Jimmy Wanjigi’s residence in Muthaiga.

Kenya will be peaceful like Angola when muuaji Raila expires.Angola gained peace when her Raila,warlord Savimbi was gunned down by his own soldiers.Muuaji Raila is not that lucky to be supported by Al Shabaab.Terrorists as is other murderers have no friends.ATAWAJUTA.

Omera. Unless NYERI People VOTE for Raila (for him saying "Kibaki Tosha" and Making their Son Kibaki President of Kenya), then They Will Have Brought a CURSE Upon Themselves. SO there is NEED for NYERI to Vote Raila as a Reward for a BLESSING to NYERIans. For you can NOT Bite the Hand (Raila) that BROKE Your Oppresser (KANU and the Kiambu Mafia your Rival Kikuyu brother) and Gave You a Leader (Kibaki) and think You'll be BLESSED. Nope!!!

@iphone, sorry, Guest1, hata kama unasikia watu husema 'tosha', you just don't say tosha.....it matters ni nani anatosha, ok? RAO haja tosha kuambiwa 'tosha', la, he is not leadership material.....wacha tu tusema ukweli...and you know. Comparing Kibaki and RAO is like comparing mmmh....a ...i just can't bring myself to say it...it will sound mean and I, honestly, don't mean to be mean....no comparison, let me say.

Can Wanjigi's mother tell me the person who sired him?Is Wanjigi the son of boy Amollo Odinga or Maina Wanjigi? I asked the mother after i heard Wanjigi describing Kihii Raila as his Baba(Father) on Radio and TV.

@Anonymous, the lady is holding Wanjigi for dear life as he was not there when she was raided! When asked where he was, he stated that is a whole different story! Sceptic in me thinks he was somewhere warm and cozy (wink!). Anyway, hiyo mambo ya holding in public like that ni ubeberu mtupu. And at Omera, yes you heard right, he called Raila baba and said he is who he is because of him. He also claimed Uhuru's government was formed in his home! The rot is mounting and Uhuru is being ousted live live. He is a sitting duck from what I can see.

Good job. Uoi have vause alot og pain on kenyans by terrorising them. There is no difference between what you are doing and alshabab. You are good at what you do by attempting to overthrow the government for your self gain. Terrorism is what you are doing to kenyans

You are real opportunist.i thought you mean well for your NASA followers but looks like you only care about those who have the same wings as you.as they say birds of the same feather flocks together.we have seen many NASA supporters been injured but you have never visited them in their sick bed.wanjigi is a household name you can hang with him in his bunker from the police.
You like to be grolified like small god .its like you wanted to steal the show.we know he bankroll your hooliganism but that does not make him above the law.if he has wrong gadgets in his house they need to be taken out.we don know what plans he hadand it's the duty of the state to protect everybody without fear or favour. From your perspective I wonder what you represent.order or anarchy

It's unfortunate that evil has taken over our beloved country.grown man calling another man "baba"I could not believe my ears when somebody worship another man.its only because of baba,I don't know where our family would be.raila had no gun and I don think there is too much he can do for you brother.you have been enticed by the evil and you become blind.i thought you are a believer. Don worship any other god but will not judge you.you need to change .you are in the wrong place.you are better than that.
While other sycophants can kill for your fake friend ,you better realize the man is there to steal the show.to make him big an enigma of destruction before you are destroyed.i don't know you and I don't want to ,but for a brother advice don't fall prey to that demon
