Jimi Wanjigi is seeking the court intervention as police officers accost him, over a car that was found parked outside his gate at his Muthaiga home.
The car had four tear gas canisters, motorola phones, seven assorted charges for pocket phones and a mobile phone.
Wanjigi is a wanted man as he is suspected to have funded the Nane Nane protests that occurred on Thursday.
In a petition at the Milimani Law Courts, Wanjigi lamented about being framed by his political rivals.
According to him, he does not own the vehicle that was parked at his gate. Neither does the car belong to any of his associates. The car has since been towed away by the police.
“I believe that the IG has no legitimate grounds for arresting me or presenting myself to any police station as demanded or preferring criminal charges against me,” he said, through his lawyer Nelson Osiemo.
The businessman now wants the court to grant him anticipatory bail pending arrest or any charges by the police.
He also wants the court to stop the police Inspector General from arresting and monitoring his movements. He added that the police are infringing his rights by their actions.
“Over the last few months, I have been subjected to untold mental and psychological anguish as police officers have been intimidating, harassing and trailing me,” he said.
“If this case is not heard expeditiously, I’m afraid my constitutional rights are likely to be put at risk,” Wanjigi added.
