Opposition Chief Raila Odinga has finally broken the ice on the arrest of NASA head strategist Dr David Ndii.
Ndii was arrested by Flying Squad Officers in Kwale County on Sunday over alleged involvement in formation of the People’s Assembly.
On Monday, he was at the DCI headquarters along Kiambu road where he recorded a statement.
But Raila in a press statement condemned Ndii’s arrest saying Kenyans should fight against subversion by Jubilee regime.
He added that Ndii’s arrest sets a precedent of similar arrest on NASA allied leaders.
“Ndii was collected like a dog from a hotel where he had gone for holiday with his family, bungled into a police car and flown to Nairobi. When his wife and my daughter Winnie tried to demand his whereabouts, they were also arrested,” Said Raila in Kisumu as quoted by the Star.
“They searched a hotel room where Ndii had been booked and took some materials,” he said. “Many more are going to be arrested but we shall not be intimidated into submission.”
He said Jubilee is now using police to silence opposition.
But, he added, they will not be silenced; instead they will “loudly demand justice and our police will be guilty of collusion by association”.
Earlier, a group of NASA leaders including lawyer Otiende Amollo were denied entry to the DCI headquarters where Ndii was being questioned.
Amollo said this was breach of law.
“Normal procedure requires that in such instances one is invited to record statement. It is shocking how officers can raid a private room and [conduct a] search without a warrant.”
