A dramatic police operation unfolded over two days at the Muthaiga residence of businessman Jimi Wanjigi. Heavily armed officers descended on the property, launching a search for Wanjigi, who was reportedly absent. The raid, which involved three separate searches, sparked controversy and allegations of political persecution.

Wanjigi and his family have consistently accused the government of targeting them due to their political stance. This latest incident, they claim, is part of a pattern of harassment. Despite extensive searches, including power and internet disruptions, the police were unable to locate Wanjigi.

The operation has drawn comparisons to a previous raid in 2017, when police also failed to find Wanjigi. His ability to evade capture has added to the intrigue surrounding the businessman.

While the police operation focused on Wanjigi, the lavish interior of his residence also garnered attention. Described as a luxurious haven, the home boasts a range of opulent features, including a high-tech conference room and a state-of-the-art home theater.

The incident has reignited the debate about the relationship between the government and its critics, with many questioning the legality and necessity of such a high-profile operation.
