Safina party leader and businessman Jimi Wanjigi has expressed fears for his life after unknown men allegedly splashed blood at the gate of his Muthaiga home in  Nairobi on Saturday night.

According to Wanjigi, the incident occurred at around 10 pm when a grey pickup arrived at his residence, and the men inside poured the blood in a bucket at the entrance before hastily leaving.

“Normally, that is an act of warning, it is to say we are going to spill your blood and that of your family,” said Wanjigi, when addressing the press at his home. 

The politician castigated police, accusing them of interfering with communications at his residence using a signal jammer vehicle parked outside his home. “For the last 27 days, there has been a car parked outside my residence that makes sure that I cannot talk on my phone and I cannot watch TV,” he claimed. 

Wanjigi said that when the court ordered the police and government to stay away from entering his house, authorities decided to frustrate him through the airwaves.

Further, the Safina party boss claimed he is being followed wherever he goes, with those trailing him openly taking photographs to let him know that he is being trailed.

After the media address, Wanjigi proceeded to Kitengela to join other opposition leaders at AIC Kasina in Mlolongo. 

However, they were blocked from attending the thanksgiving service held to honour three Kitengela men who had been missing for more than a month.

According to Wanjigi, the Kitengela Three — Bob Njagi, Aslam Longton and Jamal Longton — whose disappearance sparked public outrage, had visited him at Kamukunji Police Station where he was detained before they were allegedly abducted by the police in Kitengela. 

Police denied Wanjigi and other opposition leaders including Wiper party leader Kalonzo Musyoka, DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa and Jubilee Secretary-General Jeremiah Kioni among other leaders access to the church, which led to the cancellation of their planned rallies in Kitengela and Mlolongo. By Emmanuel Kipchumba, The Standard
