The journalist attached to Mediamax revealed that she received calls from people suspected to be involved in the shooting incident which is currently under investigations, noting that their intention was to scare her into withdrawing the case. 

Wanjeri told journalist that at some point, she was afraid of getting out of her house following intimidating phone calls from an unidentified male caller, casting a doubt on whether justice will be served to her.

‘’It is true that there might be someone targeting me. How can I get the courage to come out of my house as a woman when someone you don’t know calls you and even worse, they know your family?’’ She told the media.

The journalist also told the media that she had even thought of walking out of the case in fear of her life and only gained courage to stay on course following support from her colleagues in Nakuru.

‘’I have contemplated even bolting out of this case, because maybe that will make them stop following me,’’ she revealed.  

‘’I want to commend the officials of our association and the chairperson because they have been pushing for this case even when I was in hospital, doing follow up even with the IPOA,’’ she added.

Law Society of Kenya (LSK) President Faith Odhiambo condemned intimidation from the suspects of the heinous act that left Wanjeri with injuries on her thighs after she was shot thrice by a suspect believed to be a police officer.

‘’This should be investigated, the media should not be intimidated, especially a victim of police brutality,’’ Faith commented. 

Wanjeri was shot while covering the protests at the Nakuru Central Business District while in the company of a fellow journalist who also sustained critical injuries. 

During the incident that attracted wide condemnation from civil groups and the media fraternity, she was spotted holding onto her leg as she crawled on the ground in pain with blood stains on the upper part of the leg.

"We call on the government to collaborate with media stakeholders to create an enabling environment for journalists to carry out their duties without fear of reprisals.'' The Media Owners Association called in a statement.
