The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has issued an urgent appeal to Philip Nahashon Aroko, a suspect wanted in connection with the brutal murder of Hon. Charles Ong’ondo Were.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the DCI requested Aroko to present himself at the nearest police station without delay, stating that he is a person of interest in the ongoing homicide investigation.
“Compliance with this request is mandatory,” the statement read.
Authorities are also appealing to members of the public who may have information about Aroko’s whereabouts to report to the nearest police station or security agency.
Investigations into Hon. Were’s killing are still underway, with the DCI vowing to pursue all leads until justice is served.
In a quick rejoinder, Aroko through his lawyer Danstan Omari stated that he would be surrendering himself to the DCI late Wednesday.
“He is expected to surrender himself at the Gigiri Police Station anytime from now,” Omari revealed through a text.
On Wednesday, Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen told journalists that investigations have linked some of the slain MP’s close associates to the brutal murder.
According to the security minister, detectives have established that some of Were’s allies collaborated with his killers.
“We have made very significant progress in arresting the perpetrators and their collaborators, and it will shock you to note that this was a heinous crime done in a cavalier manner, involving people who ordinarily should have taken good care of him in his interest,” Murkomen stated.
The MP was shot dead on Wednesday, April 30, in Nairobi evening traffic by a gunman whose accomplice was riding a motorbike.
