Four Suspects Arrested in Shocking Abduction and Homo-Sexual Assault of Blogger Chawa-001

FOUR SUSPECTS ARRESTED IN SHOCKING ABDUCTION AND SEXUAL ASSAULT OF BLOGGER CHAWA-001

In a stunning turn of events, four suspects have been arrested in connection with the abduction and sexual assault of controversial Mombasa blogger Bruce John Kajira, also known as Chawa-001. The brutal incident, which has shocked the country, took place on 12th September 2024, when Kajira was violently abducted and subjected to a horrifying attack.

The suspects, identified as Abdul Hassan Athman, who was found with the motorcycle believed to have been used in the abduction, Esther Muthoni, Violet Adera, and Haji Babu Ndau Mohamed alias JAY, were apprehended after a nationwide manhunt. Mohamed, a boda boda operator who transported the victim, was nabbed in Athi River while attempting to flee on a Dreamline bus.

A HORRIFIC ORDEAL

Kajira, known for his outspoken social media posts, was reportedly accosted by a gang of over 10 individuals at his Bamburi Mwisho home. The attackers, riding motorbikes, broke into his residence under the pretext of taking him to apologise to the Mombasa Governor for allegedly slandering the official and his family on social media. Once abducted, Kajira was taken to an unknown location where he was gang-raped and assaulted.

Investigations reveal that the attackers were in constant communication with planners who provided financial support and guided the brutal act. After the assault, the gang dumped Kajira in a thicket, bound in a sack and unconscious. He later regained consciousness and was rescued by a good Samaritan who helped him return home. Kajira was initially denied treatment at Coast General and Referral Hospital but later admitted to Beyond Scope Hospital in Kisauni.

ARRESTS AND CHARGES

Following an intensive investigation by the DCI Operations Support Unit and DCI Coast, the four suspects were arrested and charged in Shanzu Law Court No. 4 with serious offences, including conspiracy to commit a felony, abduction with intent to confine, gang rape, and assault causing actual bodily harm. They have pleaded not guilty to the charges and are currently remanded at Shimo la Tewa Prison, awaiting the court’s ruling on their application for bond or bail on 26th September 2024.

The investigation is ongoing, with authorities expecting to make more arrests. Senior officials from the Mombasa County Government have also been summoned for questioning, as they are believed to have collaborated with the perpetrators. The DCI is determined to uncover their roles in this shocking case and bring them to justice.
