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.
