The case involving 7 Kenyans who apparently made themselves Kenya’s President and used their self given powers to get away with business man Naushad Merali’s Sh10 million after mimicking President Uhuru Kenyatta continues to be the talk of town.
Two of the suspects implicated in the entire saga have come out to claim that their lives are in danger.
Joseph Waswa and Isaac Wajekeche have said that police officers have been trailing them and harrasing them ever since they got out on bail.
Waswa claimed a DCI officer called David Omore had been threatening to kill him. “Every one is presumed innocent until proven guilty so I’m surprised this officer is always threatening me with death. He’s been telling me that he has been employed by the state to kill,” Waswa said.
Waswa said the officer was among police who arrested him and also led the raid at his Karen home.
He said the officers looted the home. They took away Sh190,000 from his pregnant wife and Sh100,000 from him.
Another Sh50,000 was stolen from Wajecheke and Sh47,000 from Simiyu. “We expected them to book the cash at the OB as part of our belongings but the officer refused and instead tortured us,” Waswa said.
Waswa said Omore tortured him and the other suspects. He said he was immediately admitted to Karen Hospital upon release on bail.
“One of my nerves is ruptured. It is very retrogressive that police have presumed the roles of court and can violate the law natural justice of being innocent until proven guilty.”
The suspect accused officers from the DCI for taking away all his title deeds from his home. He said police went to houses he owns and harassed tenants.
“The case before the court is conspiring to defraud so I wonder how forcefully taking my title deeds and car logbooks will help in investigations,” Lamented Waswa.
