On 17 October 2018, Citizen TV anchor Jacque Maribe accused police of planting a spy inside the Gigiri police cells to secretly extract information from her.
The allegation was contained in an affidavit she filed in court, where she said the person was used to monitor her while she was being held at the station. The claim added a fresh twist to the case surrounding her detention, though the source material does not provide a police response or a court finding on the allegation.
Maribe’s complaint focused on what she described as covert surveillance inside the cells, with the affidavit forming the basis of her accusation. The record in the source is limited to her claim and the fact that it was presented through court papers.
