22 Year Old Kiambu Youth Charged Over Plot To Assassinate President Uhuru

A 22-year-old man from Kiambu was arraigned and charged in court on Monday, March 1, for plotting to assassinate President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Detectives said Simon Muchiri posted threatening messages targeting the head of state on his social media pages on February 27.

“That on February 27 at an unknown place, you published on your Facebook page that you would kill President Uhuru Kenyatta without hesitation if you had a gun,” read the charge sheet.

The suspect was further accused of misusing his social media pages and threatening peace and tranquillity in Kenya and the Office of the President. Detectives said that they tracked Muchiri through his mobile phone, a few days after they learnt of his alleged Facebook post.

Muchiri pleaded not guilty while appearing before Kiambu Principal Magistrate, Grace Omodho and was released on a Ksh 200,000 cash bail.
