Jubilee Party secretary general Raphael Tuju is embroiled in a new blame game over his alleged remark that linked the Opposition NASA to the killing of seven year old boy Geoffrey Mutinda in Nairobi’s Pipeline estate.
In tweet, a user @RaphaelTuju_ said on Wednesday that National Resistance Movement-the resistance wing of the opposition was killing kids and blaming police to give Raila Odinga political mileage.
“I beseech NRM to stop shooting kids and blaming the police to gain Raila some political sympathy like in the Maidan script. Fortunately this time there were witnesses!” the user wrote.
Tuju now says he has no knowledge of the content and more absurdly, he is not the owner of the Twitter account.
“I don’t tweet. It is not my account,” Tuju told Nairobi News.
He added that he quit Twitter after realising that other numerous accounts had been created under his name.
Police have denied to have played role in the murder of seven year old boy-Geoffrey Mutinda who was shot dead in Nairobi’s pipeline area on Tuesday.
They say he might have been a victim of a criminal act.
Nairobi Police Commander Japheth Koome overruled earlier reports that suggested that his boys killed the seven-year-old.
