Former Nairobi governor Sonko describes how Kenyan police were “tricked” into shooting Arshad Sharif because the “Pakistani killer squad was following him.”
Mike Sonko maintains that Pakistani journalist Arshad Sharif’s death shouldn’t be attributed to Kenyan police.
After local police in Magadi got a directive from Pangani Police Station, the National Police Service (NPS) acknowledged that Sharif was fatally shot by officers in a case of mistaken identity.
Sonko claims that the Pakistani national was “tricked” into being shot by the Kenyan police into believing that he was involved in auto theft.
Sonko further alleges that Pakistani politicians and officials of the deep state are part of the money-laundering organization.
“Huyu journalist mmpandree the late Arshad Sharif was a wanted man in Pakistan and the killer squad, deep state and the system of Pakistan were pursuing him wherever he was going. He was about to release a documentary entitled ” Behind closed doors” which was implicating how Pakistan politicians and members of the Pakistan deep state and system launder money using international financial systems. Hizi mashowrooms mob za mandai Kanairo na Mombasani ziko na doo zao mingi ambazo at the same time ni a very big boost to our economy coz they pay alot of taxes and wameandika wakenya wengi,” Sonko wrote in a post on Facebook.
Kenyan cops innocent
Sonko insists that the police officers in Kajiado county who shot Arshad Sharif are innocent because they were ‘tricked’ into shooting the Pakistani journalist.
The former Nairobi governor says that officers were instructed through police radio that a stolen vehicle was traveling towards Magadi and that the occupants were armed and very dangerous.
He said that the cops, who were manning the roadblock where the vehicle carrying the Pakistani journalist was shot at, had no option but to open fire because they believed they were stopping dangerous individuals from fleeing.
