Ex Mp Survives Kidnap Attempt

The Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) for EAC and Northern Corridor Development Ken Obura  has been questioned by police over a gun drama incident he was involved in on Saturday evening in Nairobi. Obura told police at the Karen police station he was driving to his home at about 5.30 pm when he noticed ‘a suspicious car trailing him’.

This forced him to reach his pistol and shoot to the air to scare the said motorist. He is a licensed gun holder. Obura then drove to his home safely and later alerted police. No one was injured during the incident. The motorist who was targeted in the drama was identified as Robert Kanyago. Karen OCPD Cunningham Suiyanka said the former Kisumu Central MP shot to the air to scare some motorist he believed was trailing him.

“I believe he shot to the air in self-defence. No one was injured during the incident,” said the police boss. Obura said he was driving to his house when a motorist pursued him up to his gate. “There was no road rage at all. I was driving home when I realized someone was pursuing me up to my gate. I didn’t have my bodyguard so I reached my gun and shot once to the air and he drove off. Just that,” he said. He said he did not know the motive of the motorist but he acted in self-defence because he had trailed him for long.
