Despite the occurrences, no arrests have been made in connection to the raid. The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) has launched an investigation into the alleged failure of the police to protect the properties owned by Mr. Kenyatta and Mr. Odinga.
In a statement, IPOA boss Anne Makori said that there was a possibility that the police failed to execute their duties as stipulated by law.
