Embakasi East MP Babu Owino has set off a political storm after alleging that the late Kariobangi North MCA, Hon. Joel Munuve, was poisoned by a person identified only as Wamadimplez.
Speaking during Munuve’s funeral mass, Babu Owino stated that he was attending the ceremony of a man who had been poisoned, naming Wamadimplez as the culprit. He expressed his condolences to the family of the deceased and to the people of Kariobangi, ending his statement with a somber prayer for Munuve’s soul to rest in peace.
The remarks have sent shockwaves across Nairobi’s political landscape, with many demanding clarification on the identity of Wamadimplez and the circumstances surrounding Munuve’s death. Until now, the MCA’s demise had been shrouded in mystery, with early speculation pointing to food poisoning. However, Owino’s direct accusation points to a deliberate act of murder.
Detectives are reportedly reviewing medical records and toxicology reports as pressure mounts for a full investigation. Sources close to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations indicate that a fresh inquiry is being launched following the MP’s claims.
Residents of Kariobangi North, still in mourning, are calling for justice and accountability. Political commentators are also warning that the case could expose deeper rivalries within Nairobi’s volatile ward politics, especially if the name Wamadimplez is connected to influential circles.
As the nation reels from the shock and awaits further developments, one question continues to dominate public discourse — who is Wamadimplez, and why would anyone want Joel Munuve dead?
