Narc Kenya Party Leader Martha Karua on Friday, August 9 confronted a contingent of police officers manning Jimi Wanjigi’s residence in Muthaiga, Nairobi County.
Karua ordered the police officers to leave Wanjigi’s home saying they didn’t have permission to be at the premises.
The Narc Kenya leader threatened to sue the officers if they didn’t produce a court order permitting them to be at the businessman’s residence.
"This is not a police camp, this is a private home, and the family would like to live in peace without disturbance. You have done what you have done, and now we are asking you to leave,” said Karua.
She added, “You are undesirable guests. We expect you to withdraw immediately or else come with a court order. Failure to which we will sue you in individually for damages.”

On Thursday evening a multi-agency security team broke into Wanjigi's Muthaiga home after they had camped outside the residence for hours.
The officers conducted a search of the residence as they were looking for the renowned businessman.
According to Acting Inspector General of Police Gilbert Masengeli, the police intercepted a vehicle outside the businessman's residence and recovered several items from the vehicle, including 4 teargas canisters and police communication devices.
Wanjigi’s mother has however come out to defend his son saying he is not a criminal.
"It is very unfortunate that this had to happen after Jimi's father was buried about a month ago. I'm the mother of Jimi; I've known him very well since childhood and he has never been a criminal. He is a loving son, father and husband,” she told the media on Friday.
