Kenyans React to Obituary of Jimmy Wanjigi Lookalike [PHOTOS]

Kenyans have on Wednesday woken up to an alarming image of a person who looks like prominent businessman Jimmy Wanjigi

According to the death announcement image, the person who is named James Richard Wanjagi died on January 30 and was to have been buried on Tuesday 6.

Information on the image is similar to facts of the National Super Alliance (NASA) affiliated billionaire. 

The names of his wife, Irene Wanjigi, and his parents James Maina and Wambui Magari are identical to those of the person on the obituary on the Nation newspaper.

Mr Wanjigi has always enjoyed a knit relationship with the NASA leader Raila Odinga over the years.

He is among other 15 NASA leaders whose passports were suspended on Tuesday by the Director of Immigration Maj-Gen (Rtd) Gordon Kihalangwa.

According to Mr Kihalangwa, the security agencies are investigating the individuals whose passports were revoked over various issues, an incident that warranted the move.

“They will be on our watch list and will not be able to use them to travel. They have 21 days to surrender them to my office,” he asserted. 

Others who also had their passports suspended include Siaya Senator James Orengo, NASA strategist David Ndii and former Machakos Senator Johnson Muthama.
