Jowie Irungu came into limelight as soon as he got engaged to TV siren Jacque Maribe early July 2018.Apparently Jowie was well known within Jubilee political circles and provided security services for some politicians during campaigns.
It has come as shocker after high profile politicians visited Irungu at the police station where he was held demanding for his release. Having trained as a mercenary in Afghanistan, theIrungu claimed to have been in the process of putting up his security firm specialising in close protection of  VIP protection, executive protection and “special projects.” In an Instagram post, Irungu claimed his company had offices in the UK and the United Arab Emirates.

During last year’s elections, former Taita Taveta Women Representative Joyce Lay procured Irung’u’s services  as her bodyguard when she combed the expansive county gunning for Senator position.

However, some comments on his instagram page have raised eyebrows.A caption to one photo in which he was in military gear,  read: “I regret nothing.” A follower took him up on it: “Not even the countless people you have murdered?” In a veiled threat, Irungu’s friend who shares a prominent Kenyan family name replied: “My guy, your name is Hermes and you can talk, read your history.” Irungu simply posted a grinning emoji at this threat and exclaimed in Swahili: “Watapona”. But it is Irungu’s coziness with Nairobi’s celebrities that sold him out.

The man was a household name in at least two of Nairobi’s uptown drinking joints frequented by Kenya’s A-listers. He is dreaded in Buru Buru where he allegedly ran a safe house and where we were told, he presented himself as top security man. The suspect is said to have been moving around with a cache of arms in the cars he has been seen driving.

So feared is Irungu that sources including a Buru Buru resident who agreed to show us his house got cold feet at the last minute. Mechanics who have been repairing his cars also went under even though we had been informed that they know where he lives. It is suspected that the house may have some of the equipment and materials related to Irungu’s line of work. “I moved away from that house so I cannot remember Irungu’s exact house. Actually, no one here wants to talk about him. It’s too dangerous,” the neighbour said.

In an interesting incident that took place at the garages in Buru Buru Phase 5 last year, Irungu was so enraged by a boda boda rider who had hit a black Toyota Prado he was driving in that he handcuffed the rider and took him to a police station. He impounded the motorcycle and had it locked up at a primary school for almost 10 months. Such is the power the man wielded that it wasn’t surprising when it was reported that he had told the police that investigations on Monica’s death will hit a dead end.

According TV Journalist Jackie Maribe  Ms Maribe while  answering to the police she knew Irungu in January this year, but reports indicate otherwise the two may have known each other since last year in the heat of the elections.
