DCI Officers Ambush & Arrest An ODM Member of Parliament
The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has issued a statement claiming that one of their staunch party members and a member of the National Assembly was arrested by officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).
The Raila- led party claimed that Turkana South MP John Ariko, who doubles up as the party’s vice chairman, was arrested by officers in Eldoret.
ODM further revealed that Ariko was subsequently taken to Central Police Station in Eldoret Town while the reason for the alleged arrest was yet to be made public.
ODM therefore fired a message to Inspector General of Police Douglas Kanja, demanding to know why their vice chair was arrested.
Ariko was one of several other big names who were proposed to take on new roles at the party in August, as ODM sought to make changes.
The changes came after several vacancies within the party’s hierarchy that followed President William Ruto’s Cabinet shake-up.
