Murang’a MCA Grace Wairimu Spent The Entire Night with Koimburi During Fake Abduction – DCI

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations has arrested Murang’a County Assembly member Grace Nduta Wairimu in connection with the staged abduction of Juja MP George Koimburi, revealing she spent the entire night with him at a local establishment during his supposed disappearance.

DCI confirmed Thursday evening that Wairimu, who represents Kanyenya-ini ward, was taken into custody as part of ongoing investigations into what authorities have determined was a fabricated kidnapping by MP Koimburi.

Contradicting her alibi

According to the investigative agency, evidence clearly contradicts Wairimu’s claimed whereabouts on May 25, 2025.

While the MCA insisted she was in Kangema attending church services and political rallies that day, investigators established she was actually at Ellis Bar and Restaurant in Kiganjo, Gatundu South, with Koimburi throughout the night.

“Evidence clearly shows that she was at the Ellis Bar and Restaurant in Kiganjo, Gatundu South, with Hon. George Koimburi the entire night,” the DCI stated, directly contradicting her public claims about her activities that weekend.

The arrest came after Murang’a Governor Irungu Kang’ata raised alarm about Wairimu’s disappearance, initially believing she had been abducted.

Kang’ata had personally visited Samuru Police Post in Gatanga following unconfirmed reports that she was being held there, only to find the facility empty.

“Hon City MCA Kanyenyaini Kangema has been picked up by unknown persons,” Kang’ata had posted on social media, expressing concern for her family and constituents before learning of her actual arrest by DCI.

Koimburi’s elaborate deception

The MCA’s arrest is directly linked to the investigation of MP Koimburi’s fake abduction, which DCI boss Mohamed Amin described as an unfortunate attempt to create public drama and fear.

Koimburi disappeared after attending church services and was later found at a coffee plantation in Kibichoi, Ruiru on May 26.

“It is unfortunate for a whole member of parliament to go to that extent of stage-managing his own abduction, creating a lot of fear and tension in the country,” Amin said, noting that investigators were able to track Koimburi’s movements throughout the period, exposing inconsistencies in his story.

The DCI has clarified that Wairimu was not abducted as initially reported on social media, but arrested as a key figure in understanding how the fake abduction was orchestrated.

Her presence with Koimburi during the critical night of May 25 appears central to unraveling the full scope of the staged incident.

Authorities have promised further updates as the investigation continues, with both the MP and MCA now under scrutiny for their roles in what appears to be an elaborate attempt to manufacture a crisis for unknown political or personal gain.
