People Who Killed Jacob Juma are Now Investigating his Death - Raila Odinga Claims

ODM leader Raila Odinga has now claimed that the Government is intentionally slowing investigations into the murder of controversial businessman Jacob Juma.

Speaking in Lodwar, Turkana County on Sunday, Odinga alleged that those who killed Juma were now part of the investigations to ensure the truth of what transpired is never revealed and derail the probe.

The former Prime Minister pointed out that if the government was seriously investigating the murder, the killers should have been exposed by now.

Juma was killed on the night of May 5 in 2016 by unknown gunmen while driving to his Karen home on the Southern by-pass.

Since then, investigators have been unable to unravel the murder of Juma but police claimed they recovered an AK47 believed to have been used to shoot him after suspected thugs were gunned down along Uhuru Highway. 

Speculations had been rife that the businessman was assassinated by politicians until last week when investigators from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) ruled out that possibility. 

According to the investigations, detectives concluded that Juma’s murder was not an assassination and that he was killed by criminals on a robbery spree. The investigators told Director of Public Prosecution Keriako Tobiko to order an inquest into the murder.

Meanwhile, Odinga had been on a  three -day tour to campaign for NASA in Turkana ahead of the August 8 Election.
