written by Mustafa Juma

Kenyans on Twitter have expressed mixed reactions after six police officers accused of killing the two Kianjokoma brothers filed a case seeking to exhume their bodies.

The police officers who are still in custody have filed a case through their lawyer Danstan Omari seeking to exhume the two bodies for a postmortem to be redone.

Benson Mbuthia, Consolota Kariuki, Nicholas Cheruiyot, Martin Wanyama, Lilian Cherono and James Mwanikiwere who were arrested after investigation agencies concluded their inquest now want a further inquest done before any charges are preferred against them.

They argue that when postmortem on the cause of death of the two deceased brothers Benson Njiru and Emmanuel Ndwiga was conducted, the petitioners chosen pathologists were not present.

It is their argument that while being ferried together with others and in the same police vehicle, the two brothers “in a suicidal act while escaping lawful custody jumped out of the moving police vehicle thus succumbing to injuries.”

However, their request to have the bodies exhumed has stirred mixed reactions from netizens.

A section of Kenyans on Twitter argue that the officers should stop disturbing the dead and let them rest in peace.

Others argue that this might be a well calculated move to frustrate the deceased’s parents so that they can give up on seeking justice for their two children.

Below are some of the reactions.

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

A prison Warder who was arrested by DCI detectives while allegedly on a mission to kill his girlfriend was not okay if his social media posts are anything to go by.

Edwin Omuse who disappeared from duty on Tuesday armed with a G3 rifle was arrested in Thika at his girlfriend’s house.

According to DCI, Omuse stormed out of Kangeta GK prison in Meru carrying the carefully concealed rifle in a sack.

The rifle, DCI say, had a magazine loaded with 20 rounds of ammo.

He was earlier overheard saying that he would travel to Thika to eliminate his girlfriend who had allegedly defrauded him Kshs. 900,000 that he had borrowed from a financial institution.

However, his social media posts that have hence emerged can tell that Omuse was not okay.

In one of his posts, Omuse posted agreeing to one of the relationship quotes that talks about rejection.

“When a woman rejects a man of a vision and accepts a man with a television, she will end up watching the man with a vision on her won husband’s television. Don’t judge a man by his pocket but judge him by his vision. Because where a man is going in life is more important than his present condition. Stay blessed,” reads the quote which Omuse concurred with.

He then in one of his posts posted a grave stone bearing his name.

In another post, he shared a photoshopped image of himself making headlines in newspers after becoming successful.

Another post was talking about his colleagues who seem to be giving him a hard time.

“Some colleagues of mine amaze me,.mtu anaingia kwako unafikiria Ako uzuri kumbe anachunguza nyumba Yako. Why don’t you mind your own business!! Hope you know yourself, shame on you!!” reads the post.

He again posted saying that something somewhere was not going well on his side.

He is currently in police custody awaiting arraignment in court.

Things Police Recovered From Ruto Man Harun Aydin Before He Was Deported

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Just hours after Turkish businessman Harun Aydin jetted out of the country for Turkey, details of items that police had recovered from him have emerged.

Harun Aydin, a close associate of Deputy President William Ruto was on Saturday morning arrested at Wilson Airport while re-entering Kenya from Uganda.

He was forced to spend two nights in police custody after he was detained by the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit (ATPU) over terror links.

The alleged investor was part of DP Ruto’s entourage to Uganda in his aborted trip.

On Monday August 9, 2021, Harun was supposed to be produced at the Kahawa West Law Courts according to his lawyers, only for reports to emerge that he had been deported back to Turkey.

DP Ruto’s allies later dismissed reports of Harun being deported, and claimed that he had been asked to leave the country voluntarily.

On Monday evening, DP Ruto through his official social media accounts claimed that he had spoken to Harun, and was informed that he had bought himself an air ticket back to Turkey.

Hours later, Hustler Nation Spokesperson Dennis Itumbi took to his official social media accounts and posted a list of 32 items that police had allegedly recovered from the businessman.

Itumbi further alleged that the police did not find anything to link Harun to the terror charges facing him.

Among the 32 items are mobile phones, personal identification cards, business cards, personal notes, Covid-19 vaccination certificate, sim cards, entrance and exit forms, head phones among others.

Below is the alleged full list.

Terror Aside! Ruto’s Friend Harun Aydin In More Trouble, Linked To Another Scandal

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

Hustler Nation spokes person Dennis Itumbi has alleged that the Kenyan state is planning to bring some more charges to be leveled against Turkish businessman Harun Aydin.

This, according to Itumbi, is after terror charges that were leveled against him at the time of his arrest on Saturday August 7 collapsed.

Taking to his official social media handles on Sunday August 8, Itumbi alleged that he had information that the state is now planning to bring on an arms story.

According to Itumbi, the security agencies will claim that Harun Aydin is being used to bring arms to Kenya.

The former State House employee went ahead to allege that the state will then link the Arms Hubris with the alleged Arms Scandal by former Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Mohamed Echesa.

This, Itumbi says, is in a desperate effort to bring in Deputy President William Ruto’s office in the story.

He went ahead to allege that the state will now cobble up some form of charges, arraign Aydinand file a miscellenous application asking for 30days to complete investigations.

After this, Itumbi alleges that Harun Aydin will then be deported.

Harun Aydin was part of DP Ruto’s aborted trip to Uganda and was on Saturday arrested and detained by immigration officers and police in Nairobi.

He was detained by immigration officials on landing in Nairobi from Uganda where he had been since August 2. 

Officials said they wanted to question him in regard to his immigration status, work permit and the business he is involved in the region. 

However, a section of media was on Sunday morning awash with reports that Aydin had been deported in the middle of the night.

Night pictures shared at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) which went viral showed the same people who demanded the release of Harun Aydin at the time he was held by the detectives.

Meanwhile, flamboyant Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has been barred by police from seeing Turkish businessman Harun Aydin.

Taking to his official Twitter handle on Sunday morning, Ahmednasir revealed that for the second day running, he had been barred from seeing Harun Aydin.

The senior counsel claimed that the reason given to him was “orders from above”.

However, he noted that the security agencies holding the businessman have no other choice other than producing him in court on Monday August 9.

He condemned the move, arguing that it was so unfair for the ruling Jubilee government to detain Harun Aydin and deny him access to his lawyers.

“For the second day running I was denied the right to see Harun Aydin. The reason remains the same…”orders from above”. Fortunately THEY have no choice but to bring him to court tomorrow as Art 50 of the Const kicks in. My BELOVED JUBILEE govt isn’t fair!” the lawyer tweeted.

written by Mustafa Juma

Harun Aydin, the Turkish businessman associated with Deputy President William Ruto has been arrested.

Aydin was arrested on Saturday morning at Wilson Airport in Nairobi while re-entering Kenya from Uganda.

Reports indicate that he is currently being held at the Old Nairobi Area Police Station.

Aydin came to the limelight after it was alleged that he was among five people scheduled to accompany the DP to Uganda.

The others are; MPs Ndindi Nyoro (Kiharu), Oscar Sudi (Kapsaret), Benjamin Tayari (Kinango), Mombasa based businessman David Lang’at, Elijah Rono and Eric Ruto.

Earlier on, Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen had predicted that the State would arrest the businessman. 

Harun who was being sought by detectives before he checked out of a local hotel where he has been staying runs a company known as Unit 2HA Investment Energy Africa Ltd.

Harun has been staying at a local hotel within the city since June 24, 2021, when he arrived in the country until August 3, 2021, when he checked out just three days after DP Ruto’s saga at Wilson Airport.

The Turkish national who holds passport number U20470175 was issued a working permit by the Department of Immigration Services in Kenya on June 30, 2021, and it is supposed to expire on June 29, 2023.

Harun first jetted into the country in 2018.

DP Ruto has hence dismissed reports that Harun Aydin, is a man of questionable character.

He mentioned that Aydin is a respected Businessman who has a permit to operate in Kenya and even the Turkish embassy has confirmed the same.

Oscar Sudi who was part of the Uganda trip claimed that the media was being used to tarnish the reputation of the businessman and in extension, that of DP Ruto.

Sudi said that Uganda President Yoweri Museveni would not have allowed someone of questionable repute to invest in the country.

“Reference is made vide the Regional Police Commander Rift Valley’s letter dated August 3, on the above-mentioned matter. The Deputy Inspector General Kenya Police Service vid his letter dated July 28, has approved the deployment of the following police officers with immediate effect,” the notice reads in part.

by Mustafa Juma
written by Mustafa Juma

A senior government official has found himself in trouble after failing to account for millions of shillings that was found stashed in different bank accounts.

Benson Muteti Musila, a regional manager at the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (KeRRA) was found by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption commission (EACC) to have more than half a billion shillings stashed in 22 bank accounts.

On top of that, the official has 27 properties, shares in multiple companies and schools, which the anti-graft agency has linked to kickbacks from contractors to the State.

EACC has applied for the seizure and forfeiture of his assets, saying they are part of unexplained wealth worth Sh952.3 million.

The anti-graft agency was initially targeting more than Sh1.03 billion but Mr Musila satisfactorily explained properties with a cumulative value of Sh78.7 million.

The EACC says the bank accounts and the real estate property in Nairobi, Makueni and Kilifi counties could not have been built by his monthly salary of Sh390,000, arguing that he was a beneficiary of kickbacks from road contractors.

“The commission pursuant to Section 55(2) of ACECA has instituted a suit seeking forfeiture of the above stated assets of Sh952,363,824.99 which were acquired at a time the Respondents were reasonably suspected of corruption or economic crimes,” the petition stated.
