Caroline Wanjiku has confessed to hacking her mother-in-law Ann Nyambura to death in Kiambu county. She said that Satan had asked her to also kill her mother and sister but she didn't find them at home. The 29-year-old reported to Thigio chief’s post on Monday, September 21, saying visions of snakes coiling around her waist kept her up at night. "On Sunday night when I went to sleep, the snakes visited me. They asked me to kill the three people they kept asking for, but I prayed to God and slept after they left. The following morning, they came again and asked me to kill them. I do not know what happened but I proceeded to the kitchen where my mother-in-law was and killed her with an ax." She said She told the press, administration police and residents she also intended to kill her mother and sister but did not find them at her matrimonial home. "It is Satan who disturbs my mind," said the woman whose husband, David Njenga, works in Qatar. She said she committed the crime while her father-in-law, Ben Maara, was at a garage washing his car, and then took a boda boda to her home. Assistant chief James Mwaura said Wanjiku told her father-in-law that she had killed his wife, and asked for her mother and sister. "She went to the AP post to report what she had done when she could not find her mother and her sister," Mwaura said. "She has been taking tablets which control her mental problem but no one knows what happened. We are leaving everything to investigators." Officers from Tigoni police station and crime scene detectives from Nairobi county reported to the scene and began a probe. They collected blood samples and the ax and took statements from family members, but declined to comment saying they were not authorised to address the press. Wanjiku was later transferred from the chief’s post to the police station. Officers said she will undergo a mental check at Mathari hospital. The body was taken to City Mortuary.

National leader of APC, Bola Tinubu says the current trial of the Senate President, Bukola Saraki at the Code of Conduct is nothing new to him as he was tried at the same tribunal two weeks after leaving office as governor of Lagos state. Speaking to newsmen after his Eid prayers at the Dodan Barracks praying ground yesterday September 24th, Tinubu said
“After they discovered that my asset declaration had some questions, they charged me to the tribunal. I went and challenged them to show proofs. I was later discharged and acquitted because there was no evidence to prove their claim. It is only then I accused the government of being selective. We have to live by example and by our words.
We can’t be talking about it alone. We have to work it without any iota of blackmail. I have been through it. The second week I left office, I was invited by the EFCC. I went there and answer their questions. Later, I took them to court and I won. The government officials are almost no longer believable in this country. When one has a public responsibility, they look at it as if the source of wealth to steal and mismanage public funds and do things that are not included in the democratic norms and values. We cannot overlook a lot of things. We cannot personalise a lot of things as if it is vendetta. We have to endure, be patient, look for justice, equity and balance society.” he said
