Through her lawyer, Danstan Omari, Wambui told the court that she was wrongly identified alongside three other individuals as allegedly involved in planning and coordinating the purported disappearance.
She maintains that she does not know the other persons mentioned and has never had any dealings with them.
According to court documents, Wambui says the mention of her name in connection with such a serious matter has caused her immense anxiety and exposed her to public scrutiny.
She contends that the allegations, which she insists are unfounded, have already damaged her standing as a journalist and could have far-reaching consequences on her career.
Her lawyer further argues that the manner in which the DCI communicated the information to the public has created the impression that she is culpable, yet no formal charges have been brought against her.
Omari told the court that unless the orders sought are granted, Wambui risks arbitrary arrest and continued harassment by law enforcement officers.
Wambui is also seeking the court’s intervention to safeguard her constitutional rights, including the right to dignity, freedom and security of the person.
She insists that she is willing to cooperate with investigators if required, but only within the confines of the law and with assurances that her rights will not be violated.
The application comes amid heightened public interest in the alleged disappearance of Tuju, a case that has drawn significant attention due to its complexity and the prominence of the individuals involved.
While investigators continue to piece together the circumstances surrounding the incident, Wambui maintains that she has been unfairly dragged into the matter.
