Arrest of Mathe Wa Ngara
Mathe Wa Ngara was arrested on 21 August by officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
The DCI officers from the Anti-narcotics Unit while working closely with officers from the Forensics and Cyber Crimes Units tracked Mathe wa Ngara who is alleged to be the owner of Sh13.4 million cash and a consignment of 26 gunny bags full of cannabis obtained by the police.
Furthermore, her arrest came after she called Teresia Wanjiku who was mistakenly arrested to apologize on Sunday, in a dare to law enforcement.
When presented in court on August 21, her lawyer Danstan Omari requested the court to issue an injunction pending a request for anticipatory bail that is meant to block arrest of a suspect.
Furthermore, Lawyer Ombeta urged the court to release their client on bail saying she is ready to deposit her travel documents in court hence she is not a flight risk.
