Man who claims to be Kibaki’s son, Jacob Ocholla Mwai says his life is in danger after unknown gunmen trailed him in Nairobi.
A 62-year-old man who claims to be former President Mwai Kibaki’s biological son has claimed that his life is in danger after unknown men trailed him and made an attempt on his life while driving in Nairobi.
According to Jacob Ocholla Mwai, on Wednesday in Nairobi, two young guys who were riding a motorcycle and carrying weapons followed him as he headed toward James Gichuru road.
He recalls that the two men initially hit his car with the motorbike. He claimed he veered off the road believing it to be a routine traffic collision in which his car had sustained just minor damage.
The two men did not however stop after the accident. It is then that he decided to get into his car and drive off only to encounter them once again while joining James Gichuru road.
“I noticed that they are the same people and that’s when I immediately took my water bottle and threw it at them. They lost balance and I saw they were armed with a pistol. I immediately drove off towards the Village Market,” Mr. Ocholla told Daily Nation.

He has said that he fears for his life and called upon authorities to investigate the incident.
“I have not eaten ever since because I am in shock. I have told the police everything and I want it to be known to Kenyans that whatever happens to me, I have already recounted everything,“ he added.
In 2022, Mr. Ocholla moved to court seeking official recognition from the ex-president’s kin and a piece of the former Head of State’s family estate.
In the case, he compelled the children of the former president to reveal whether his name was included in a will left behind by the late Kibaki.
Ocholla claimed that he was ignored whenever he tried to reach out to the former Head of State before he passed away.
