JUST WHY DID PAUL KOBIA KILL FIDEL ODINGA ?

Controversial City tycoon and businessman Paul Kobia confessed on Monday to killing former Prime Minister, Raila Odinga’s first born son, Fidel Odinga, last Sunday.

Kobia was heard bragging to some patrons and the owner of Buffet Park Mr. Muya that he killed Raila Odinga’s son for organizing goons to beat him up at a restaurant along Lenana Road where CORD leader, Raila Odinga, was also having lunch.

Kobia’s confession was heard by some of Fidel Odinga’s friends who were at the pub on Monday night and they reported the matter to the police.

This comes even as Raila Odinga and Kenyans still wait anxiously for results of the lab tests to establish what really killed Fidel Odinga after preliminary autopsy exams turned negative results.

Kobia, who has connections right in State House, is a controversial businessman and a thug, who at one point knocked a pedestrian and run away with it.

In 2013, a UN report named him as one of the most notorious gold smugglers in Kenya. If your memory serves you right, this is the same year President Kabila came to Kenya after gold worth 6 billion was smuggled through the country – Kobia was at the centre of that controversy.

The businessman was also in the news last year when he, together with Mike Sonko and other Jubilee bigwigs, were captured and recorded planning to assassinate Raila Odinga to teach him a lesson for not respecting President Uhuru Kenyatta.

It now remains to be seen what the police will do to Kobia considering he enjoys State protection and moves around in a convoy complete with chase cars.
