In what appears to be absolving the self-proclaimed prophet from any wrong-doing, the DCI said Thursday they have no interest in summonsing nor pursuing David Owuor over allegations of conning City lawyer.
Reports by The Star indicated that on Wednesday, a letter had been sent to the evangelist, through his lawyer Kimani Watenga, by the DCI asking him to find a day that he would prefer between Thursday and Friday to appear for questioning.
Fraudulently obtaining property
Jayne’s family had accused the prophet of fraudulently obtaining her properties and using them to his own advantage.
DCI detective Francis Wanjau was quoted as having divulged that Jayne was yet to record a statement since they wanted her to undergo a medical checkup first.
DCIO Wanjau’s statement came after two women that worked as housekeepers for Jayne recorded statements at the Kabete Police Station.
The women arrived at the police station while accompanied by Owuor’s church administratorLily Macharia who also recorded her statement.
The DCI indicated that they summoned the house helps in order to help with their investigations into whether Muthoni was brainwashed by Owuor, as claimed, with the intention of taking advantage of her resources.
Detective Wanjau was adamant, “The house girls would be able to know If Muthoni was taking some drugs since they have been living with her.”
The media was, however, barred from establishing contact and speaking with the two women.
Detectives also denied claims that Owuor was scheduled to appear at the station to record a statement.
Wanjau was even quoted noting that they couldn’t just summon Owuor “anyhow” since he cannot be compared with commonplace religious leaders operating in the ghettos of the city.
Regarding Muthoni, the DCIO informed, “The doctors should look into her state of mind and tell us if she is of sound mind. She might record a statement and later say she was not in her right state of mind.”
The DCIO also wondered why the media was speculating that Owuor was summoned as he questioned their sources.
“We don’t want to train our police to chase media. Did you hear it from fake social media?” questioned Wanjau.
