Renowned investigative journalist and founder of Africa Uncensored, John-Allan Namu, in a phone interview with Kenyans.co.ke on January 9, recounted details of a dream by then-Jicho Pevu colleague Mohammed Ali, which he termed as 'freaky'.
Moha's dream occurred one night in Germany in 2009 where the fled to after threats arising from exposés the duo had produced.
Namu revealed that on the said evening, they had dinner and followed it up with a stroll before they retired for the night at their apartment.
The following morning, Moha woke up and informed his colleague that he had won a Cable News Network (CNN) award in a dream he had the previous night.
"I remember the evening before, we had just had dinner then we went back to the apartment. Then that morning Moha said to me, 'you know what, I had a dream that you have won a CNN award'.
Later in the day, Namu received a call from his then-boss, Katua Nzile, that he had been nominated for an award by CNN.
"Hours later, we got a call from my boss. He could not reach me so he used Moha's phone. He told me that guys from CNN had contacted him, and I had been nominated for an award for two stories that I had done," Namu revealed.
"It was the freakiest thing ever," he stated.
That year, John-Allan Namu was feted with the CNN Multichoice African Journalist of The Year Award, 2009.
The award-winning journalist intimated that his friendship and work relationship with Moha was built on trust and an open-minded approach to ideas and concepts.
"If there is anything that I admire about Moha is his sense of instinct and premonition of certain things that happen," Namu praised.
On another instance in Ghana, 2014, while preparing to eat, Moha informed him and other colleagues of his aspirations to become an MP.
"We were in Ghana in 2014, just about to share a meal, and Moha goes, 'guys, what if I run for MP'. It was like he had a moment of foresight," Namu remembered.
Moha was elected as the Member of Parliament for Nyali Constituency on an independent ticket in the 2017 General Election, despite losing in the ODM nominations.
"I came to trust the man's instincts of what would happen," Namu reiterated.
