The DCI officers are investigating an offense of publication of false information following an alleged raid in Matiang’is Karen Home.

The Detectives believe that Danstan Omari is connected to the offense and would assist in the investigations.

Omari was scheduled to appear before police senior superintendent Michael Sang at 9:30 am without fail.

"With the powers conferred upon me under section 52 (1) of the National Police Service Act No 11A of 2011, hereby compel you to appear before me at the Directorate of Criminal Investigation situated along Kiambu Road At Mazingira House on February 22, 2023, at 9.30 am without fail," the DCI letter read in part.

However, Omari failed to appear before DCI today and said he had rescheduled the meeting to Thursday because he had many cases.
