Like every other suspect out there the Iranian ambassador to Kenya, Dr Hadi Farajvand, who has been linked to a failed attempt to secure the release of two Iranian terror suspects from police custody, now claims he is being victimised.
The diplomat admits meeting two suspects, who reportedly defrauded him of an unknown amount of money on the pretext that they could secure the release of the suspects Ahmad Abolfathi Mohammed and Sayed Mansour Mousavi but denies doing business with the two men.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) on Friday arrested Mr Wesley Kiptanui Kipkemoi and Mr Shemgrant Agyei. They were charged in court on Monday.
The ambassador says Mr Kipkemoi and his friend had contacted him by phone regarding the deal to release the two Iranians.
“They said the terror suspects were going to be freed by the government of Kenya and that they were contacting me on behalf of the Ministry of Interior, which I found suspect because the said ministry could have contacted us directly.
They, however, did not reveal their names,” the ambassador said during a press briefing at the Iranian Embassy in Lower Kabete, Nairobi.
Do you believe that the ambassador is being victimised.
