Dennis Mbae: Cruel side of man who spread fear in Embu

Dennis Mbae.

Dennis Mbae ran a network of legal and illegal ventures in Embu and the neighbouring Kirinyaga.

His name was only spoken in whispers when he lived and although one of his known legal businesses was Casablanca Club in Dallas Estate, Embu, few people understood the intricate underground operation he ran as law enforcers looked away.

Mr Mbae woke up early as usual on Wednesday and spent most of his morning minding the pig farm he ran at Dallas. He spent considerable time supervising his farmhand to shovel manure and wash the pigs. He also paid their wages.
