2 defilement suspects detained for two weeks

Police in Embakasi are holding two men suspected of defiling minors.

The two are 56-year-old Josephat Munyua Festo suspected of defiling two children aged 10 and 11 and James Makori suspected of defiling a 13-year-old girl.

Police constables Joseph Limakuru and Hawa Mohamed both attached to the Embakasi police station obtained custodial orders from Makadara law courts to detain the two suspects for 14 days.

Makori is said to have defiled the minor on March 9 while Festo is alleged to have defiled his victims on February 29.

The officers said investigations are slow because of coronavirus pandemic and getting medics to fill the required forms is difficult and they have to make bookings.

The suspects will remain in custody until April 1. Makori had objected the application before senior resident magistrate Lewis Gatheru claiming the period is long while Festo claimed to have chest complications that he needed treatment for.

Ighalo among loanees in limbo after corona pandemic halts season

London, Monday The January transfer window brought with it hopes of a fresh start for players and clubs who had struggled to make their mark in the first half of the season. A host of high profile names completed temporary moves as they sought to impress both their parent clubs and new employers ahead of potential summer moves. But none of them had expected a global pandemic to block their path as they dusted down their boots and prepared to inject new life into their careers. Odion Ighalo There’s nothing worse than watching a Hollywood story unfold in front of your eyes and then being denied the ending. Ighalo, a childhood United fan, completed a shock loan move to Old Trafford on deadline day having spent the previous two years playing his football in China. Ighalo made it out of China and just before the country put in place a lockdown to halt the spread of coronavirus, while the striker didn’t travel to United’s winter training camp in Spain in case he wasn

Where it all went wrong for sacked Dennis Itumbi

Denis Itumbi’s reign at State House has officially come to an end. A bit late, some observers would think. On Wednesday, the government released a statement informing Kenyans that it had scrapped his position of senior digital director and those of four others. But for someone so close to the presidency and a reported personal friend of President Uhuru Kenyatta, what just went wrong? 1. Dalliance with DP William Ruto – During the 2017 general elections, Itumbi, for some reason, aligned himself with Deputy President William Ruto. At the time, he was spotted accompanying the DP to most international media interviews. This bromance grew and Itumbi ‘replaced’ coverage of President Kenyatta’s activities on his popular social media pages with that of Dr Ruto. It was a decision that has proved costly considering the political fallout between the two leaders. The DP has himself complained of some elements within the government out to stop him. 2.
