David Ndii’s Mwende Gatabaki wife reveals how Winnie Odinga saved her from the police

Mwende Gatabaki says Winnie Odinga went to her rescue when police arrested her husband David Ndii. The Nasa strategist was arrested over what Nasa termed as his role in the formation of the People’s Assembly.

Ndii was arrested on on Sunday night in Kwale County. The popular economist was in Coast together with his wife Mwende Gatabaki to attend a nephew’s wedding.

Mwende Gatabaki narrated everything that happened that Sunday during a press conference in Mombasa. She reveals that she had a confrontation with the police while she was demanding to know where they had taken her husband.

She saved me from being thrown behind bars

Mwende reveals that police let her go when Raila Odinga’s daughter Winnie arrived at the station. She claims that officers at Diani police station threatened to throw her behind bars if she didn’t stop asking questions about her husband’s whereabouts.

“I was detained for sometimes, then Winnie Odinga came and started talking to the officers. She asked them what was going on. And at that point I noticed they also changed a bit. The idea of throwing me into the cell changed,” Mwende Gatabaki said.
