Here is why I Still Insist that the Westgate “Hero” Abdul Haji MUST Be Investigated By comrade Albert Nyakundi Amenya Very soon, all the roads will lead to and out of State House and other places of worship, venues of the mock commemoration of the West Gate siege first anniversary. As commemorators play their roles, they must insist on getting answers to both the asked and unasked questions on how the entire siege or ‘SIEKE’ as IG Kimaiyo pronounces it, unfolded. For Ole Lenku and Gichangi, may God forgive them for they did not know what they were supposed to do. A year ago, if you asked Kenyans, they would unhesitatingly tell you that Abdul Haji is fantastically a famed hero. Evidently, the man who coincidentally happens to be the biological son of former defense minister Mr. Mohamed Yusuf Haji, enchantingly saved lives during the West Gate attack. Undoubtedly, this man won scores of desperate hearts world over due to his daring character. I understand perfectly well that the reputation that Haji earned is highly unalterable. In a couple of occasions, the man was seen going into the mall, and then exiting with different victims. Following his prodigious achievement, this man should be celebrated for his bravery. However, before I hurriedly compliment this young man, I wish to procrastinate a little bit for some imperative reasons. Yes, before I extol this licensed firearm holder, I wish to take exception to his intrepid character. Once more, before I buy his courage, I wish to ask a couple of questions in regard to his enchanting daredevilry in the eyes of the killer. To the best of my knowledge, Haji is just a licensed firearm holder and not a trained soldier. With only a pistol, Mr. Haji who by coincidence professes Islam dared go into the Mall without even a bullet proof vest. An act of bravery indeed, fools can attest. Sincerely, I am profoundly mesmerized by the spate at which Kenyans are highly grading this fellow without thinking deeply. Fellow Kenyans, let us ask ourselves how possible it is for a man who is not militarily trained, for him to preternaturally go into the building full of terrorists not only once, or twice, but several times, and fish out victims and exit unscathed? Fellow Kenyans, remember, remember each and every step taken by Haji was captured on camera by an unknown paparazzo. Ask yourself, how tactical and technical was it that the photographer only concentrated with only him given the fact that there were other rescuers undertaking the same mission as himself? How predestined were circumstances that his brother could be in the Mall during the attack and that he could be around to rescue him? As far as I know his father Mr. Yusuf Haji, he is a monster who has no reputation to keep. They say truth speaks louder than words. Yusuf Haji’s historical background serves as a perfect edification that corroborates and substantiates my sentiments. His hand in unending ethnic skirmishes between the clans in his motherland is evident to all. As a matter of fact, the recent one is the Tana River massacre where scores lost their lives. We must be told the truth for us to be free.
