A police bid to charge activist David Ndii was yesterday thwarted as Opposition leader Raila Odinga alleged a State plot to arrest his allies and crush dissent.

Director of Public Prosecutions Keriako Tobiko yesterday directed the police to release Dr Ndii, who is the National Super Alliance's (NASA) economic adviser, on police bond without being charged.
