Barely a week after Chief Justice Dr Willy Mutunga claimed his life is danger, the man behind the threats was arrested on Friday.
Victor Owuor, a resident of
Kibera was arrested on Friday at a cyber cafe in the sprawling slum and locked
up at Kilimani Police Station where he was interrogated for the whole of
Friday.
Owuor, who is an ardent
supporter of Prime Minister Raila Odinga, was allegedly found at a cybercafe in
Kibera making copies of letter.
The letter which was
purportedly written by Mungiki men was aimed at tainting the name of Jubilee
supremo Uhuru Kenyatta and his running mate William Ruto.
The “poison piece letter”
has been scanned and was circulating on social media since Wednesday when
Justice Mutunga revealed receiving it.
The letter warned the CJ
and members of the judiciary of “dire consequences” if they delivered an
adversarial judgment in a case questioning the eligibility of Uhuru and Ruto.
