Antony Chinedu: Me, thrown out? No way

The Government ruled out negotiating with deported businessman Anthony Chinedu on his return to Nairobi as a condition for release of Kenyans held in Lagos, the Nigerian is fighting back. Seven Government officials and five crew of a jet hired to deport 10 foreigners, including five Nigerians, among them Chinedu, are stuck in the West African nation. The 12 have been detained at Murtala Muhammed Airport as Nigerian authorities claim Chinedu was not procedurally deported. On Wednesday, Chinedu was quoted saying: “We are doing Kenya a favour by marrying their women. I have never heard of a Kenyan man marrying a Nigerian. Without Nigeria’s patronage, Kenyan Airways would fold up”

On Wednesday, a narration of a plot by a woman who hired hitmen to kill her husband of 15 years stunned Kenyans. Investigating officers told the court how Faith Wairimu Maina paid the ‘hitmen’ a down payment of Sh40,000 and demanded for the bloodstained clothes of her husband to confirm his death before completing the Sh160,000 balance.
