“I have received deeply troubling news that my security officer, Oliver, and his wife were arrested today and reportedly assaulted by rogue officers attached to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI). As of now, the charges against them remain unknown,” he said
Babu Owino continued by calling out intimidation, unlawful arrest, and violence by those entrusted to protect them in the first place.
“No Kenyan should be subjected to intimidation, unlawful arrest, or violence by those entrusted to uphold the law. We demand immediate transparency regarding the reasons for their arrest, confirmation of their safety, and that due process be followed in accordance with the Constitution of Kenya,” he said
The arrest follows the recent movement led by Senator Edwin Sifuna, who is challenging the current regime, as they clearly show the rift in the ruling opposition party, ODM.
