Police Raid Matiangi’s Home in Karen to Obtain CCTV Footage

Detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Wednesday evening raided the home of former Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i.

DCI Director Amin Mohamed confirmed that officers raided the home in Karen, Nairobi, to obtain CCTV footage as they seek to unravel the puzzle surrounding the alleged police raid of the house last week.

“This afternoon, our officers obtained a search order to obtain CCTV recordings from the home of the former Interior Cabinet Secretary to establish the facts surrounding the alleged raid,” Amin noted.

“Upon completing our investigation, we will take action if any officers from any security agency were involved in any unauthorized activities, or if any false information was knowingly disseminated by anyone to the public.”

The DCI also revealed the ownership of the Subaru car that was spotted at Matiang’i’s home on the night of February 8th when the alleged police raid took place.

The investigative agency said the vehicle belongs to Inter Management Group Limited, a security consultancy and training company, and was driven by one of its directors identified as Peter Gacheru.

“Peter Gacheru is one of the directors at the Inter Management Group Limited and is a neighbor to the former CS at the Karen Ngong View Estate which is a gated community,” DCI added.

The DCI further said it received a letter from the company’s lawyer Kethi Kilonzo confirming the ownership details and providing copies of the insurance and logbook of the car.

In addition, the DCI recorded statements from the private security company hired to provide additional security as well as the VIP police officers tasked with guarding Matiang’i’s home.
