Menyinkwa: Trader killed by unknown people
The gunshots were heard at approximately 9.30 p.m., according to villagers and family members. At first, they believed it was a transformer that had exploded, but they soon realized that Okari had been shot.
On Thursday night, while returning to his home in Menyinkwa, Justus Okari was shot and killed by unidentified assailants.
Only a few meters from his Mwamoriango residence, Justus Okari's body was discovered stretched out on the asphalt.
There were gunshots to the head, according to villagers and family members.
They said he was killed while riding a Bodaboda, and the rider has already given the police a statement.
The gunshots were heard at approximately 9.30 p.m., according to villagers and family members. At first, they believed it was a transformer that had exploded, but they soon realized that Okari had been shot.
According to family members, the unidentified individuals stole money and other items from him and searched his pockets.
Bathsheba Okari, Okari's wife, stated that she believes her husband was murdered as a result of a land dispute.
"He has repeatedly voiced concerns about a plot to assassinate him. Before all of this, there had been an earlier attempt on his life," she stated.
The deceased's uncle, Denis Anyagi, said that after multiple attempts at resolution, they had assumed the land dispute was settled.
Church elder John Ombase asked the government to find the murderers, calling the killings "cold-blooded."
He told reporters, "But as investigations begin, we ask our people to maintain peace."
As stated by Nyaura Chief Nyakundi Johnson, an investigation is currently underway with the goal of apprehending perpetrators.
Okari`s body is resting at Christmarriane Mission Hospital
