DCI Launches Manhunt for Joe Mwangi

Wendy Waeni's manager, Joseph Mwangi Nduta alias Joe is being sought after by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations(DCI).

This is in connection with forgery of a letter purporting to be from a Cabinet Secretary threatening Waeni's mother Magdalene Mbele.

"Mr Joseph Mwangi NDUTA alias Joe whose photos appear below is wanted by DCI Kenya Detectives in connection with the Forgery of a Letter purporting to be from a Cabinet Secretary threatening the complainant Magdalene Mbele of some consequences. To report at DCI Nairobi Area," DCI stated.

Waeni's mother had earlier disclosed to reporters that her daughter's interview at Citizen TV resulted to Mwangi threatening her.

"Now that the situation has boiled over, he threatened me. He stated that he was no longer willing to pay for Wendy's passport adding that the person who took us to Citizen TV should take care of everything," she stated.

On August 9, 2019, DCI opened an investigation into the matter where the 14-year-old accused her former manager of exploiting her.

"DCI Detectives from the Child Protection Unit have today commenced investigations into this matter & should ANY criminal culpability be found, appropriate legal action will be taken," they posted.

Ms Waeni's sad situation was brought to light in an interview with renowned Citizen TV journalist, Jeff Koinange on his JKLive show.

In the show, Ms Waeni, painfully narrated how her former manager exploited her, misusing her social media platforms to insult people, earning her backlash.
