Edgar Obare who is still in hiding has come out to protest the arbitrary arrest of his brother at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) and subsequent torture by police.
Obare went into hiding after exposing some of the famous people behind the illegal wash wash business in Kenya.
The blogger revealed that the wash wash cartel works in cahoots with rogue police officers in high ranks to do the fake gold scams, money printing and several other dubious deals involving billions of shillings.
Obare shared a video online to inform his followers that he was hurting after the wash wash cartel kidnapped his brother in a bid to smoke him out.
According to Obare, his brother was kidnapped and tortured so that he could tell his captors about where the blogger was hiding.
“Saturday night I was informed that they kidnapped my brother. They kidnapped him, tortured him and they were more less just trying to get information about my whereabouts. That’s one of the scariest… Am so sad that he had to go through that and that some people in this country will go so low that now they are just going after my family, it just makes me sick and i f*cking hate this country,” said Obare in part.
Obare says his brother was kidnapped after he sent him to JKIA to pick a package that had been held up at customs.
The customs officials took Obare’s brother round and round and he had go back a different day to get the package.
When Obare’s brother went back to pick up the package, he was accosted by DCI agents who locked him in a room for about four hours.
“When my brother goes back to pick up the package he finds DCI agents waiting for him. He arrives at the airport at the customs office then he is taken to a room he is told ‘wait there give us your phone’. So he just obeys. They lock him up in a room for three four hours, he is wondering what’s going on but they didn’t actually tell him that they are locking him up in the room, when he went to open the door to check why these guys have taken so long that’s when he realized that he has actually been locked inside a room,” said Obare.
He added that;
“Apparently they come and they were just asking him ‘where is Edgar?’. That’s all they wanted to know that’s all they cared about.”
Obare said the DCI agents released his brother but days later he was kidnaped and tortured.
“Hearing my brother cry on the phone trying to explain to me what they did to him and am just… He didn’t deserve it. He is an innocent person. Has nothing to do with anything… We are just related. He didn’t do anything, why should he suffer like this,” Obare lamented.
