NAIROBI,Kenya, Jan, 12 – Awe Olasunkanmi and Ola Waliu Opeyemi were Wednesday arraigned for issuing death threats and creating disturbance in a manner likely to cause breach of peace respectively, at an apartment complex in Nairobi’s Kilimani area.
The incident occurred at Crest Park apartments.
The first accused, Olasunkanmi, is accused of threatening to kill Italian national James MCWaters while the second accused is accused of disturbing the complainants’s wife.
Court documents showed that Olasunkanmi,shouted,“tell that white man if he doesn’t stop reporting us to the security guards I will kill him, I know what to do with him,”
The second accused, Opeyemi, is meanwhile said to have shouted to the comppaintants’s wife, “tell that white man to stop reporting us to security,”
MCWaters was not at his house at the time but his wife, Angela Nakiru, was who later informed her husband who in turn notified the apartment’s security guard of the incident further telling them to address the noise complaint from the accused’s house.
The accused live in the same apartment block as the complainant.
Appearing before senior principal Magistrate Derrick Kutto, the accused denied the charges.
They were remanded to police custody for two days as police complete a verification process on their immigration status.
