James Mugo Ndichu, known by many as Dr Mugo wa Wairimu, returned to the headlines three years after he was charged with illegally running a private health facility.
In October 2015, Mr Wairimu was first charged with rape, illegally administering unknown drugs and operating as a pharmacist without a license from the Pharmacy and Poisons Board.
Following an investigation by NTV's Dennis Okari, Wairimu has once again gone missing. He was released on a Ksh2 million bond but returned more determined to his trade, exploiting unsuspecting Kenyans.
To market his business, Mr Wairimu has at least seven Facebook pages used to lure customers to his services. One of his pages says it all, he is defiant and willing to take every risk in his illicit hustle.
“I am back stronger, candid, daring and fearless. Like it or not but I’m back, my lessons fresh. Those who counted me out will be met with shock and disbelief,” his social media page reads.
Detectives, during the weekend, launched a manhunt for Wairimu in Kayole at Nyama Villa stage. Here, he runs a 24-hour health service, 7 days a week and has turned his house into a ward and patient detention facility.
When the officers pounced on the clinic in the company of KMPDU officials on Saturday, Wairimu was missing but a man identified as Victor, Wairimu's right-hand man was nabbed.
Officers recovered equipment believed to be those used in facilitating the illegal abortions. At Wairimu's Kayole rental house, police found more equipment and drugs with the home appearing to be detaining patients with pending service bills.
According to Okari's findings, th suspects spends most of his time injecting himself to get high and simply smokes Marijuana. He does this at the back of his clinic and when he is not high on the controlled drug or Marijuana, it is alcohol that is competing with blood flow in his body.
A former employee of Wairimu's clinic spoke to NTV on the ordeals and inhuman acts meted on patients accused Wairimu of sleeping with clients in his theatre room.
"His X-ray room is very dark, it is where he used to sleep with the patients, nowadays it is in his theatre room where he does the terrible acts on the female patients," stated the former employee.
Another woman admitted that Mr Wairimu had sedated her before raping her on the patients' bed.
"I asked him whether he had done that to me, he admitted and said he was carried away, doing something he shouldn't have done to a patient," the woman revealed.
Currently, two men believed to be part of his illegal clinic are in police custody but Wairimu remains at large.
