Businesswoman Ann Njeri Njoroge has told stories of being pursued by others.
Speaking on Tuesday outside of court, Ann said she was brought to the Karura forest via her attorney Cliff Ombeta.
“The last person she was with and relatives were asked to leave the premises. She was then kept in a house in the middle of Karura forest,” Ombeta said.
He added that after leaving the DCI headquarters, Ann was blindfolded and brought to the residence in the middle of the Karura forest.

"She was told she would die if she does not leave the oil and withdraw the case from the Mombasa High Court," Ombeta said.

"The government has stolen this fuel. It was not theirs but they have put it in their pipelines."
Ombeta said Anne was abandoned ay Nyayo In Embakasi on Monday.
“She was kept in one room, attached to chains. She had to ask for permission to help herself. For two days, she was threatened,” he said.
"The threats to kill her, were real.”
According to Ombeta, they promised to release her on Sunday with certain restrictions.
“She was told she need to withdraw the case she had filed in Mombasa and not to talk to her lawyers and to leave the country,” Ombeta said.
"Then they realised that there is a habeas corpus application in court and that they would be needed to produce her.”
He declared that the lawsuit will not be dropped in court.
Ombeta claimed that the cops behaved like thieves and that they made an effort to haggle for a share of the Sh17 billion diesel.
“The fuel she brought was going to be cheaper than the government fuel. It is unfortunate,” he said.
