Armed detectives raided Ann Ngirita's family home in Naivasha leaving a trail of destruction.
According to a relative, whose identity is concealed, the officers arrived in three vehicles and broke the gate to their mother's house before accessing the compound.
He further divulged that the officers who appeared to be searching for something went from one manhole to the other before unsuccessfully trying to gain entrance into the house.
"There was no search warrant. We came to learn from neighbors that the officers were already in the compound and we suspect something sinister in the whole exercise," mentioned the relative.

The detectives, numbered to have been more than ten, arrived in the home located at Lakeview at around 7 pm and broke into several septic tanks and sewer lines.
According to the relative, who spoke to the Standard on Monday, the group left in a hurry after the relatives started making calls to their lawyer.
He asserted that they are now living in fear of being harassed by the police following the incident that happened on Sunday night.
A source linked to the Standard at Naivasha Police Station noted that they are aware of the raid, however, he asserted that they were not informed about anything else concerning the raid.
"The officers did not involve us in their operation and we are yet to know what they were looking for that late in the night," exclaimed the source.
This happened as five members of the family have been on remand following their involvement in the National Youth Service (NYS) Ksh9billion scandal.
The Ngiritas, who include mother Lucy Wambui, son Jeremiah Gichini, daughters Ann Wambere and Phyllis Njeri, and daughter-in-law Cate Mwai have been in custody since last week.
