What was Elvis doing in that building?
CCTV footage shared by Citizen TV have shown that Claire’s ex-boyfriend entered the building a few minutes behind her, and was just being helped into a wheelchair when he was seen walking past and then returning the way he had come.
At one point, a group of people is seen trying to push him away from the area, and it looked like he didn’t want to move; he fought back to sit, so he was pushed away.
What did Kenyans think about the video?
Rishton Magdalena: “So what did he want to prove? Nothing can justify an attack.”
Nancy Thiongo: “There is a very dangerous trend that happens in Kenya, when a son is hurt, women are happy, and when a girl is hurt, men are happy. Well, these people I believe are our sons’ daughters, husbands, wives, sisters and brothers. No one has the right to hurt another regardless. It is very sad if our son goes this way, we feel that it is right to lose a son, and we feel that it is right to lose him. We need more girls and women sympathize with each other.”
Odhiambo Azariah: “Will he ever get his face back.”
Flora Ndunge: “Ukitemwa temeka! Let it be like that! Money, no matter the amount, can never equal a person’s life!”
Wa Khalitsa: “Those who burned men should also be brought to court.”
Moha Mogeni “Is he related to Amiso Thwangjo the ohangla artist?”
