Jimi Wanjigi speaks out on 48-hour police siege at his Muthaiga home

Nairobi businessman Jimi Wanjigi on Wednesday broke his silence on the two-day police siege on his home at Muthaiga estate in Nairobi.

Mr Wanjigi accused the Jubilee government of persecuting him because of his “unwavering support” for Nasa presidential candidate Raila Odinga in the August 8 election.

He said more than 100 police officers armed to the teeth stormed his palatial home and desecrated it against a “so-called court order” which only allowed officers to search.

ASSAULTED WIFE

Mr Wanjigi also said that officers assaulted his wife Nzisa as she attempted to record the destruction of their home.

The businessman dropped a bombshell when he said that President Uhuru Kenyatta and Mr Odinga met at his home after the 2013 Supreme Court ruling that upheld the former’s ruling and shook hands.

He said he was a blessed man.

The businessman, who financed Nasa in the last election, also disowned the house in Malindi where a cache of arms was recovered on Monday.
