The former CS however did not show up at the DCI offices with his lawyer Danstan Omari saying his client was not served legally.
"My client has not been served according to the law and we don't recognise what we are seeing in social media until we are served properly," Omari told the media.
Meanwhile, the court on Thursday extended orders barring the police from arresting Matiang'i. The orders which were to end on Thursday will now run until April 19 when the matter will be mentioned.
