The party added that no information has been given to them as to why they have been arrested and why they are being questioned.
Oparanya’s lawyer Ken Nyakundi said the officers produced a search warrant.
“We could not stop them from doing what they wanted. We are currently at the EACC headquarters and we will communicate further," he said.
The EACC team demanded that the former governor be driven in their official vehicle, but a scuffle ensued thereafter.
