Tuesday, March 24, 2026 - Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has disclosed how he orchestrated the arrest of Elvis Opiyo, the man accused of planning the acid attack on gospel singer, Claire Mary.In a post on X dated March 24th, Sonko revealed that he personally devised a ruse to lure Opiyo out of hiding.“We managed to arrest him on Sunday. We tricked him by lying to him to come to Nairobi, and that’s how we made the arrest. So, justice will be served,” he stated.Sonko shared the details during a visit to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), where Claire Mary is undergoing treatment after being ambushed near Prestige Plaza on Ngong Road on March 17th.Surveillance footage captured the moment she was doused with acid, leaving her with severe injuries.During his hospital visit, Sonko assured Claire that even though Opiyo claimed to be an officer with the National Intelligence Service (NIS), he will face justice.“Elvis Opiyo says that he works for the NIS. Even if so, he is not above the law; no one sent him to come and burn you with acid. We will deal with him,” Sonko reaffirmed.Opiyo, Claire’s estranged partner, was arraigned at Kibera Law Courts on March 23rd, accused of orchestrating the attack after their eight-year relationship ended.Records show Claire had previously reported him to police in November 2025 for assault and death threats.Sonko pledged to provide lawyers, cover her legal fees and settle her hospital bills, promising to stand by her until justice is served.

Tuesday, March 24, 2026 - Police in Kangundo Central have arrested a man suspected of killing his estranged wife in what investigators believe may have been a premeditated act. The incident reportedly occurred on Sunday, March 22nd, 2026, at the suspect’s residence, where the victim had gone to visit their children. According to preliminary reports, the couple had separated prior to the incident, and the children were under the care of the suspect at the time. Authorities suspect that the invitation extended to the woman to see her children may have been part of a calculated plan to lure her to the residence. It is alleged that upon arrival, she was assaulted and fatally injured. Police have since taken the suspect into custody and launched investigations to establish the full circumstances surrounding the incident, including the motive and sequence of events leading to the woman’s death. The body of the deceased was moved to a local mortuary, where a postmortem examination is expected to be conducted. The Kenyan DAILY POST
