Citizen TV Journalist Jacque Maribe has narrated to the court how a stranger tried to interrogate her while she was held at the Gigiri Police Station.
According to The Star, Maribe said that the man, who was booked in as a suspect, could enter the women’s cell which is against police cell policy.
This is contained in a new affidavit she filed in court on Wednesday in which she also denies the allegations brought against her in regards to the murder of businesswoman Monica Nyawera Kimani.
Maribe and her fiance Joseph ‘Jowie’ Irungu appeared in court on Wednesday where Justice James Wakiaga set Wednesday next week as the hearing date for their bail applications.
She made the revelations to counter the prosecution’s concerns that she should be denied bail on the guise that her life is in danger from third parties.
According to Maribe in an affidavit she said, “I suspect K.K. Omondi was planted by C.Insp.M. Otieno…to investigate and extract information. He probably thought I had something I was holding back whilst in fact I had disclosed everything.”
Ms Maribe further said that K.K Omondi was the only male occupant allowed to mingle freely and interact with female detainees despite a strict gender separation rule enforced on everyone else.
During the time Maribe was detained in Gigiri, the man allegedly kept being brought for food from Java Restaurant which consistently offered her but she declined.
This even as the rules clearly spell out that nobody is allowed to share food while in police detention.
Maribe further alleges that aside from the special treatment that K.K Omondi enjoyed inside the cell, he also kept asking her questions about the Monica Kimani murder case.
“I was advised by other detainees and security personnel to be careful with him in view of his interest in my situation,” said Maribe.
In the affidavit, Mr. K.K Omondi was booked in on Sunday September 30, 2018 which was captured in the Gigiri Occurrence Book.
Maribe says she saw one of the investigators Mr. Ahmed consulting with OCS and taking photos with his phone of the O.B entry presumably related to the said K.K Omondi.
Omondi operates from the DCI establishment as the lead investigator in the case Chief Inspector Maxwell Otieno.
