DETECTIVES in Mombasa are questioning five suspects who trailed Nairobi Senator Mike Sonko and his security team for about five hours on Tuesday night.
A close member of Sonko’s family, who sought anonymity, said they suspect the men had bad intentions because they followed the senator from Machakos to Nyali, Mombasa.
Sonko, who was accompanied by three cars, stopped severally on the way, and the men, who were in a Porsche Cayenne and a Range Rover Vogue, cars worth at least Sh50 million combine, also made several stopovers without talking or making any sign of acknowledgement.
“Sonko’s security team is very sharp. Even if it were a major shootout, the men would have been surprised by what would have happened to them. We highly suspect they had a bad intention,” the family member said. Sonko’s bodyguards shot in the air behind Nakumatt in Nyali.
Police are analysing the five men’s mobile phone records.
Kisauni CID boss Stephen Wambua said detectives are yet to complete investigations.
“There is a team of detectives handling the case keenly and once they are done, action will be taken,” he said.
Sonko said he has several enemies, including fellow politicians and landgrabbers.
“Let the police do their work. Several politicians, including former MPs Mugabe Were (Embakasi), Tony Ndilinge (Kilome) and George Muchai (Kabete) lost their lives after being trailed,” he told the Star on the phone.
