It can now be revealed that the wanton hooliganism, looting and violence that was witnessed during the two days of protests last week was well planned and orchestrated by paid goons working for Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino.
Swaleh Sonko was the mastermind of the plan to destruct peaceful demonstration that were planned by youths seeking justice for slain teacher and influencer Albert Ojwang.
Explosive revelations have painted a dark picture that proves Swaleh Sonko hired goons to disrupt the protests in a scheme to a portion blame on Governor Johnson Sakaja.
New and explosive trending videos suggest that Swaleh Sonko, a well known associate of former Governor Mike Sonko and who has now aligned himself with the Embakasi East MP Babu Owino, was allegedly hired by Babu Owino to mobilize goons to infiltrate protests.
During the initial protests against the tragic killing of blogger Albert Ojwang, this same group was reportedly seen vandalizing newly installed litter bins in the city.
On the second week of demonstrations, the group came out all armed with machetes, jembe pins and knives, marauding the streets. The goons went on to terrorize the streets and were accused of mugging stealing from citizens and destroying property, looting and beating up protesters and other residents as well, all while invoking Governor Sakaja’s name and his “Mbwekse” slogan – seemingly trying to frame the Governor.
The goons were well planned, moving in groups all with weapons and causing terror to Nairobi residents before passing outside City Hall, chanting Sakaja’s name and slogans to appear to be pledging loyalty, but all was planned against Sakaja by the ilk of Babu Owino.
While it appeared Babu Owino gained political points against Sakaja from these events, these videos tell that it now seems the truth is coming to light.
The live podcast captures Swaleh Sonko in a shirt written BABU OWINO on its back and he is heard saying that he was asked by Babu Owino to mobilize 200 goons to infiltrate the protests.
“The economy is biting so if I am asked to organize 200 youths to the streets and I have the capability, why not? They were not paid 500 as you are saying but they were each paid 2000 shillings,” Swaleh Sonko said.
Asked why he risked the lives of Nairobians, Swaleh shamefully said that even if some people died, they will still be buried and their families given money by politicians adding that some people must die so that others can survive.
