The duo were arrested on Friday with explosives outside the gate as they tried to drive into Wanjigi’s home in Muthaiga, with the police yet to establish the motives behind the act that raises more questions than answers.
“We ransacked the said vehicle and found two hand grenades, walkie-talkie, 7 pocket chargers, three phones, and a national identity card in the name of Eliah Karangu Waithuku.”
This comes just days after Jimmy Wanjigi claimed that there is a CCTV footage showing a woman planting some items in his car in an attempt to frame him over his participation in Nane Nane Protests.
“Don’t try and make me a criminal. You come and plant things in a car that is found in my gate. Fortunately, there is technology and we have got a woman planting those things in that car on CCTV footage.”
According to Wanjigi, the police tried to conceal their actions by vandalising and destroying CCTVs in his compound, the footages are safely stored after they were recorded.
“You came and vandalised CCTVs and forgot that there is something known as iCloud. There is no difference because the footages are there. You seem to be far behind technology.”

With the two men in custody, it’s unclear whether they are working for or against the businessman Jimmy Wanjigi and whether the attempt to drive into Wanjigi’s home was an attack to the businessman or a way to conceal the vehicle from authorities.
