Samson Talam, the Officer Commanding Central Police Station at the time teacher and slain blogger Albert Ojwang was murdered, arrived at Milimani Law Courts.
Talam, was trailed and arrested on Friday after a dramatic hunt.
Police alleged that Talam had switched off his mobile phones since Thursday amid a hunt for him.
His family, however, dismissed claims that he had gone missing, saying he cooperated fully with authorities and later surrendered himself voluntarily to the DCI.
The family said at no time did Talam switch off his phone, adding that he was in constant communication with his colleagues.
Another female police officer targeted in the case was found and questioned for the better part of Friday ahead of a planned arrangement.
Talam has been regarded as a prime suspect in the murder case.
This is after a number of suspects and witnesses adversely mentioned his name in the saga.
He, through his lawyer Danstan Omari, has denied the claims.
He is expected to be presented in court on Monday, June 16.
Ojwang was arrested in his Homa Bay home over claims of false publication and brought to Nairobi, where he was booked and later clobbered to death.
He died on June 8, hours after his arrest and detention in the cells.
