Tech entrepreneur Ndiangui Kinyagia wins Sh5m after court finds 2025 police raid violated his rights

Tech entepreneur Ndiangu Kinyagia and her at Milimani Law Courts/FILE Tech entrepreneur Ndiangui Kinyagia has been awarded Sh5 million in damages after the High Court found that a police raid on his home violated his constitutional rights.

The case stems from a June 21, 2025, search of Kinyagia’s residence in Kinoo, Kiambu County, after police officers went to his home in connection with an investigation. The officers entered the house and seized several items after failing to find him.

Kinyagia went into hiding after learning that the officers had been to his residence, prompting concern from his family over his whereabouts.

His mother, who was unable to reach him, later sought the assistance of the Law Society of Kenya, which helped initiate habeas corpus proceedings seeking information on his whereabouts.

He subsequently resurfaced and told the court that he had gone into hiding because he feared for his safety.
