Jacque Maribe was detained for 10 days at the Gigiri Police Station as detectives carried out their investigations before she was presented in court for the first time on October 9th 2018.
In a new affidavit filed in court on Wednesday October 17th, Jacque claims that a man named Kennedy Omondi tried to interrogate her when she was locked at Gigiri Police Station.
The Citizen TV anchor says Omondi was would sneak into the women’s cell (which is against police cell policy) and ask her what she knew about Monica Kimani’s murder.
Jacque says the encounter with Omondi happened on September 30th. She reveals that Omondi enjoyed special treatment in the cells, that he wore his shoes, ate food from Java which he offered to share with her but she declined.
“Nobody is allowed to share food in police detainment. I was advised by other detainees and security personnel to be careful with him in view of his interest in my situation. The only risk I ran was therefore from the DCI,” says Jacque in the affidavit.
Jacque further reveals that Omondi told her that he had been arrested on drug trafficking accusations on September 29th. He also told her that he knew her house and he repeatedly asked her personal questions.
“He said that he knows my house in Royal Park. He repeatedly asked me questions that were not in the public domain then, including what kind of investigating officer Chief Inspector M. Otieno is,” says Jacque.
She filed the affidavit hoping that the court would grant her bail on grounds that she is not safe in police custody since a male stranger got to her in her cell.
