This comes hours after Wanjigi broke his silence on the events that unfolded at his Westlands office on Monday evening.
The businessman confirmed the CID officers raided his offices around 9:30 pam and demand to have him.
Wanjigi says the officers declined to state what exactly they wanted from him but they instead demanded that he comes out and go with them for interrogation
"They surrounded the compound. They dressed like how they used to dress when there is massive Covid. They were telling my two lawyers that they want me to go to CID to write a statement," he said.
The businessman has linked his woes to the political remarks he made over the weekend regarding some leaders in the country.
"I tend to think it has to do with what I said in the weekend where I was very clear about some personalities and it seems I was making some of my friends uncomfortable because one will wonder why they would use this sort of force when I have not committed any crime," he said
