Omwenga Had The Gun In His Waist As A Show Off To His Tanzanian Lady Before The Shooting, Ouko Says

As police continues to unravel the mysteries surrounding the shooting of Kevin Omwenga at his house in Kilimani estate, the prime suspect Robert Bodo Ouko has been cooperating with the authorities who’re piecing up the events of the night.

According to sources, Ouko in his statement claimed the incident was accidental. He said the bullet discharged as Omwenga was handing over the weapon to him.

He told the police that Omwenga was carrying the weapon as they got into the house and they had gone to the bedroom for him to hand over the weapon when the incident happened.

He also told the police that him, Omwenga and his brother in the company of the Tanzanian lady were in Obure’s office which is adjacent to Omwenga’s Galana Suites Apartment before they decided to leave for supper at the apartment. Other reports also indicate that Omwenga and Ouko has been hanging out for drinks before heading to Ngara to pick up the lady.

Ouko says that despite not being licensed firearm holder, Omwenga had asked for the gun and had it in his waist as a show off to his Tanzanian date. Omwenga had just accumulated wealth overnight and bought two exotic cars in 5 months and in cash so he wanted to be seen as a big boy.

When Ouko wanted to leave, they went to the bedroom for Omwenga to hand him over the gun and that’s when Ouko claims he accidentally shot him. On Saturday, the suspect was taken back to the house which is now a crime scene and he demonstrated how the events unfolded.

Ouko denies having any argument with the deceased. Four others including the Tanzanian lady who were in the house have been interviewed. The police are also following leads over the sudden wealth and his business connections with Chris Obure who’s a seasoned fraudster in town.

Omwenga went from being unable to pay rent in March to living in a Sh150,000 apartment in Kilimani, buying Porsche Panamera and a Range Rover in cash both under five months. They’re also following up on his planned ‘business’ trip to Dubai on Sunday.

Ouko has been Chris Obure’s bodyguard, the two who’re in police custody are expected to be arraigned in court today with the intention of police asking for more time to hold them as they conduct their investigations.
