United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party Director of Communications Wanjohi Githae was the first to report about the incident, saying Itumbi survived the 8:00 pm attack.

“There has been an assassination attempt on Dennis Itumbi shortly after 8 pm this evening. Thank God he is safe,” Gitahe wrote on Facebook.

In a statement recorded at Kasarani police station under OB Number 115/13/8/2021, Itumbi said he was headed to Red Sports Restaurant to pick supper when the incident occurred at Garden estate. 

"His motor vehicle was blocked by an unidentified motor vehicle. He became suspicious and thus decided to hit the said motor vehicle so that he can gain access to speed off. As he was trying to get an escape route he heard gunshots being fired towards his speeding motor vehicle," the statement reads in part.

Police officers led by Kasarani sub-county police commander Peter Mwanzo said they did not find any spent cartridge when they visited the scene of the alleged incident. Locals at the scene also said they did not hear the gunshots.

    If the people around did not hear the Gunshots and the police did not find any spent cartridges, the possibility that there was no assassination attempt cannot be ruled out. It could be another Itumbi Hoax.

    It is simply a hoax! Itumbi caused an accident intentionally. They have been planning what to do to change Ruto’s childish narratives about his terrorist business man. People can see through this childishness!

    This guy a psycho and extremely stupid! He is now trying to deflect the rut association with a terrorist! Go get your damn wheelbarrow from your idiotic master and to your lies to Majini!!! You silly idiot?

    You will hear many of such stories from the Ruto camp. They want to play the victim and garner public support, but unfortunately we are coming to knowing you better. Perhaps this is a diversion from your Turkey guy saga. It won’t cut. Sorry.

    This dude’s head is full of egg York; quit empty indeed! Can he pull a better carca than the fake assassination shit? Who cares if he were dead or alive? Seriously his mother must have really labored to shit a brainless tad!

    Did you mean ‘egg yolk’, ‘quite’, ‘circus’…You can simply use Swahili to avoid confusing readers!

    Smart Eric! What is in it for you???

  8. ManjariiAug 14, 2021

    Itumbi was trying to escape a hit and run hepwtsonslly committed! Only Itumbi and DP Ruto get assassinated by the evil Demons inside they ugly heads!

    I’m sick and tired of the two conjoined prostitutes (Ruto and Itumbi)! What a the date this fool Itumbi is gong to answer the fake case of Ruto’s assassination plot by Ruto himself???

  9. CiroAug 15, 2021

    I surely pray Itumbi gets jailed for lying about assassinations! Kenya cannot have a kid in men’s clothing telling lies all the time!

    We are far much better than the shit this idiot is trying to pull!

    For those of us who know Dennis Itumbi from the old days we know who is is not what he purports to be in front of the camera and his social media.

    Be careful Kenyans, is all I can say for now.

  11. MaryAug 15, 2021

    Are you from Kangach high or BV😂😂😂

  12. MunyiAug 15, 2021

    @mohandas - can you kindly tell us who this muthafaka is since you have known this Wainga wa Shaitani from the old days?

    The only other person who behave like Itumbi is DP ruto! The DP Ruto is a total mad man because the Shetani spirits of everyone he has killed in the past haunts his inner soul and he can never have peace with himself!

    Have known Itumbi to have committed deep crimes which haunts his dark soul?

  13. KipseremAug 15, 2021

    Itumbi thinks he is important to generate public news but he is not! He just needs to be removed from the streets and be locked up in jail!

    What happened the night itumbi hit another motorist and attempted to get away was cooked at Ruto’s house by Ruto himself.

    These Lunatics are doing everything to garner public attention and sympathy! It is all a diversion to make people forget Ruto’s terrorist association! It is one big lie!!

    And for those of us who have known Ruto since the early chicken selling days; this is typical Ruto who used to cause commotions every day as a child! The man has not changed one bit!!

  14. GuestCAug 15, 2021

    I wonder between Ruto and Itumbi who came up with this ridiculous idea...they did not think it through

  15. JoshAug 16, 2021

    Both cooked up the lie and sudi signed on it! That is how cheap these matakonomics idiots are! They think they can take Kenyans for a ride by pulling crap off their ass! It is a lie! Even a dog can sniff this one!!

  16. Bernard NdekereAug 15, 2021

    Just like his name itumbi, he thinks we are made of York. Aawache ujinga and cheap publicity to please his master who has perfected propaganda and foolish ideologies.

  17. MarthaAug 17, 2021

    Did you mean ‘YOLK’?

  18. MaunduAug 17, 2021

    Yo got the meaning of what he intended to say right? You look for job yo teach English! We don’t have the time for a smart Eric here!

    It seems as the LV-21 (Lying Virus-21) has finally arrived in Kenya.

  20. MūgīkūyūAug 15, 2021

    @Imara-And just like the other lying and drama viruses which have been in Kenya before, this too shall pass.

  21. BenAug 15, 2021

    Itumbi is nothing less than a conman! That’s right! A huge conman who is just acting up like a damn fool!

  22. Imara DaimaAug 15, 2021

    @ Mugikuyu:

    I sincerely believe that the time has come that requires "lying" to be classified as a felony. Just imagine how many more lives could have been saved globally if all the politicians and members of the clergy demanded that all their participants wore face masks in all public meetings.

    Not enough. Anyone addressing the public without a face or demanding the congregation have one must be treated as a felon and arrested immediately for the public good.

    In order to curb the spread of COVID-19 and its derivatives, we must have the courage to ask all politicians and members of the clergy to shut up and listen to the voices of logic from the research scientists and professionals in the medical fields..
