The DCI has issued summons to lawyer Danstan Omari to appear at DCI Wednesday morning over the raid at Former CS Fred Matiang'i's home.

In summons to Omari, the officers say they are investigating the offense of publication of false information and they believe Omari is connected to the offense or has information which can assist in investigations.

He is to appear at DCI Kiambu road before police senior superintendent Michael Sang at 9:30 am without fail.

"Failure to comply with the requisition constitutes an offence liable to prosecution," DCI said.

Lawyer Omari was vocal about an alleged raid at Matiangí early this month.

Omari said the former CS had summoned his lawyers and they rushed there to witness what was happening.

“I can confirm to every Kenyan in this country that the life of Matiang’i is at risk. We don’t know the intention of wanting to invade Matiang’i’s home at this time of the night. We don’t know why they want to arrest him and where they want to take him,” he claimed.

However, police and EACC detectives denied involvement in the alleged raid.
