Miguna Miguna Tears into Kenyan Detectives over Dutch Tycoon Tob Cohen’s Murder
Deported Kenyan-Canadian lawyer Miguna Miguna has questioned the competency of Kenyan investigating authorities over the murder of Nairobi-based Dutch billionaire Tob Cohen.
Taking to social media hours after the body of Cohen was recovered on Friday; Miguna reckoned the mission would have taken hours if Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) had the required tools.
“The police knew that he had not traveled. His phone, wallet, and vehicle were at home. It should have taken hours to find his body. Don’t tell me that Kenya has no cadaver-dogs?” Miguna posed.
He added: “The so-called fight against terror is just an empty slogan. All those hundreds of billions purportedly budgeted for sophisticated security equipment, cameras, and cadaver-dogs were just clever conduits for stealing public resources.”
The body of the business mogul was found inside an underground water tank at his home in Kitisuru, Nairobi nearly two months after he was reported missing.
“The incompetent and criminally-convicted Kinoti believes that stating that he "led" the non-existent operation would elevate his incoherence, confusion, and clumsiness to the level of diligence which he and his bumbling and compromised department lacks. Kinoti can't even speak!” said Miguna.
Police have so far arrested two suspects in connection with the Dutchman’s killing. Police said Cohen’s estranged Kenyan wife Sarah Wairimu Kamotho is the prime suspect, while the identity of the other suspect is yet to be revealed.
Wairimu, who was arrested on August 28th, was arraigned in court to face murder charges on Thursday but did not take a plea. The court ordered she undergoes a mental assessment.
71-year-old Cohen went missing on July 19th, 2019. Before his disappearance, Cohen and Ms. Wairimu were embroiled in a bitter divorce case involving a multi-million-shilling property.
On July 12th, 2019, Cohen filed an assault case against his estranged wife, where he cited continuous harassment and denial of his conjugal rights.
Cohen, a tour and travel tycoon, lived in Kenya since 1987.

Spot on Miguna!
Come on Miguna, that's acheap shot. Just because the wallet, phone and car were at home does not definitively confirm that Tob was home.You say police knew that.So what is the beef?I guess you think that they are covering up something.Tell us what that "something" is before its found...because you will again after the fact state that you knew about it.
Your bitterness toward the police is understandable considering the run ins you have had with them,but please present facts. Even in Canada where you ran to find refuge,there are some crimes that are not solved,despite all the technological advanced tools they have. Let police finish their work.
Miguna yr tooo much english is empty one n won't take you anywhere.Have we found the body of dedan kimathi yet it's has been more than 50 years since he disappeared.So detectives did a very good job finding the body within that time.They were lead by one of the guys who killed cohen into the water Pit.So tell me that's not a work well done.Miguna we know it still bitter after what the detectives did to you b4 deporting u to yr country.Nautaongea matope mpaka wewe utachoka mwenyewe.
so what's your point, matters raised by MM are weight. If you have not been involved with what an investigation is or a detective moves. I'll advice you to watch some series like nypd etc. attacks on MM shows how irrelevant you are english is just but a language. If you want to improve in eng just read new papers every day at least one passage or novels...
