The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) on Wednesday issued a statement that seemed to confirm the raid at Matiang'i's home.  

"This afternoon, our officers obtained a search order to obtain CCTV recordings from the home of the former Interior Cabinet Secretary to establish the facts surrounding the alleged raid. Upon completing our investigation, we will take action if any officers from any security agency were involved in any unauthorized activities, or if any false information was knowingly disseminated by anyone to the public," part of the statement read.

Addressing the press, Matiangi'is lawyer Danstan Omari, said that officers didn't have a court order to access the former Interior CS's home. 

"The police sneaked in without anybody knowing, arrested the watchman, broke the door and gained access to the former CS’s place, and ransacked the house," Omari told the press. 

Another lawyer who is part of Matiang'i's legal team added that the police officers arrested the watchman when he tried to request a court order from them. 

"They rammed into the gate with their land cruiser, broke into the compound, and arrested the watchman, after which they broke into the house. They were looking for these items even in the toilet cistern," the lawyer told the press.
