Deported drug trafficking suspect who sneaked back to Kenya murdered

Nairobi, Kenya: One of the suspects who had been deported from Kenya over drug trafficking accusations and sneaked back to Nairobi has been found dead.

Mystery surrounds the death of Komani Camara alia Boss Kamara of Guinea whose body was found on Saturday with gunshot wounds in the head.

Kilimani division police said they were called and informed the body was lying along Cemetry Road near Jamhuri Park, Nairobi.

CID head George Ojuka said Camara’s body had two gunshot wounds in the head.

“We do not know who killed him but some people there say they heard gunshots on Saturday morning from the same area. We are investigating the incident,” said Ojuka.

Ojuka added the victim had identification documents with him when the body was discovered. He said preliminary findings had shown Camara was among those who had been deported last June over allegations of drug trafficking after a presidential directive.

“We are informed he had been deported and came back after which he was arrested and taken to court before he was released because prove of his deportation was not there,” said Ojuka.

The body was moved to the City Mortuary. Camara had been spotted at a popular coffee joint on Friday evening in a jovial mood.

He had been deported alongside more than 90 other suspects including Nigerian Anthony Chinedu.

Camara’s lawyer Cliff Ombeta said the government had failed to prove his client had been deported after police arrested him and took him to court.

“He has been in remand for almost three months and we went to court and argued before he was set free. The government could not show he was deported,” said Ombeta.

It is thought that Camara was put on an airline as a normal passenger and told to go away to allow things to cool off. He flew to Addis-a-baba then to his country before he came back nine months later.

Most of the foreigners who were deported then had come to the country posing as businessmen and had been here for up to 20 years.

Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Ole Lenku said he was not aware of the development.
