This is the latest update from Robert Alai as posted on his facebook account
'Ask
William Oduol why CID officers under the command of Mr Kariuki are
detaining me without any charges yet. Being detained since 11 AM. They
can't charge me because they know that they have no case. Ask him also
where I posted the offending messages. He either produce the screenshots
or the links to the messages.
Daily Post, Jackal News, Nairobi Wi and others have all presented writings against Oduol. He is bitter about nothing. IRONIC that we fought for Oduol during the last ODM nominations thinking he was the best option. William Oduol is proving that power makes him very corrupt. This is going to be a very good lesson to Oduol. Let him fool himself.
BTW I went to court knowing that Oduol was misusing the justice system and wanting me arrested. That is why I was prepared to go into a police cell'.

Earlier today, the below statement purported to be from Oduol was posted on Gor Mahia is not a club but a lifestyle facebook account. It read:
'Dear All,
Today, I filed both criminal libel and civil suit against one Robert Alai, a blogger who has been posting falsehoods on his Facebook page, twitter and blogs that I am a wife batterer. I have done this because I believe in the rule of law and would like the whole truth to come out. I am an accomplished professional who has worked hard to get to where I have got and would not allow anybody to bring my name to disrepute without any justifiable reason. On this breathe, I would also like to ask our hard working journalists to practice responsible

Like every law abiding citizen that may feel aggrieved and believes in due process, I wrote my statement with CID headquarters for the criminal libel suit and also instructed my lawyers to file a civil suit, both of which were executed and served on Mr. Alai today. The constitution enshrines certain liberties to all of us and in the fullness of time, we shall know who is telling the truth. As a by the way, I would like to caution that we do not allow politicians to use us in spreading malicious and unfounded falsehoods against innocent Kenyans.
I thank you all for handling this discourse with decorum and civility'.
Decision Times Kenya is keenly following the developments of this Alai/Oduol episode and will keep on updating any development.
