A 62-year-old man who claims to be former President Mwai Kibaki’s biological son has claimed that his life is in danger after unknown men trailed him and made an attempt on his life while driving in Nairobi.
Mr Jacob Ocholla Mwai has claimed that two young men who were riding a motorbike and wielding weapons trailed him while he was driving towards James Gichuru road in Nairobi on Wednesday.
At first, he recounts, the two men knocked his car with the motorbike. He said he pulled off the road thinking that it was an ordinary road accident in which his car got a minor scratch.
The two men did not however stop after the accident. It is then that he decided to get into his car and drive off only to encounter them once again while joining James Gichuru road.
“I noticed that they are the same people and that’s when I immediately took my water bottle and threw it at them. They lost balance and I saw they were armed with a pistol. I immediately drove off towards the Village Market,” Mr Ocholla told Nation.Africa.
He has said that he fears for his life and called upon authorities to investigate the incident.
He reported the incident to Spring valley Police Station in Westlands, Nairobi under Occurrence Book number 24, on Thursday, February 23, 2023.
A police source privy to the case indicated they have already begun investigations into the incident.
In 2022, Mr Ocholla moved to court seeking official recognition from the ex-president’s kin and a piece of the former Head of State’s family estate.
Through his lawyers Omoke Morara and Peacela Atim, Mr Ocholla, last July filed a petition in Nyeri before Justice Florence Muchemi.
