Kenya Times News Editor Chris Oyuga was arrested Wednesday morning and
released after recording a statement at the Criminal Investigations
Department.
He was arrested near the Kenya Times offices and questioned for
more than three hours over a story published by the newspaper two
months ago quoting a 'classified document' from the National Security
Intelligence Service [NSIS].
Oyuga says detectives wanted to establish the source of a letter
which the newspaper quoted, claiming it was a forgery.
The document in question bore a letterhead of the NSIS and was
addressed to the CID. It warned that the controversial Armenian
brothers 'were of questionable character.'
A senior CID officer says detectives from the Criminal Intelligence
Unit are now scrutinizing Oyuga's statement before they decide if to
take further action.
