Journey from Pakistan to Kenya
He was a devoted representative of Pakistan on the one hand. On the opposite side, he was hanging as a threat over the Shareef family’s heads.As a result of his disclosure of the PANAMA papers’ truth. Nawaz Shareef was declared ineligible to hold public office for life by Supreme Court of Pakistan. Arshad Sharif took this as his initial act of hostility towards them five years ago.Unknown people repeatedly threatened him.He requested security in a letter to the Chief Justice of Pakistan on July 12, 2022. However, 16 purported FIRs were filed against him in retaliation within a day or two. The Quaid’s Pakistan was in the hands of despicable, unscrupulous people who were unable to even defend the Jaan’ nisaar Pakistani.
He demonstrated certain evidence CDs on the discrepancy of those who had thoroughly devoured Pakistan like a beetle in a video posted on Twitter. He was going to present these proofs in court shortly. And without a doubt, it was the moment when Pakistan would have emerged from the shadows. However, many with dishonest hearts could not stand seeing their faces in the revealed form. Even in this perilous time, sympathy and love for his country (Pakistan) was emerging from his nerves. On 21 October 2022, he tweeted, “I am a citizen of Pakistan and owner of Pakistan, I pledge that I will use my force against any person or institution whether internal or external who will act against this country or break its law-because I am a citizen of Pakistan. Its owner is the ultimate guarantor of its survival”.
In August, he finally left Pakistan with the assurance that he would return with a message on his YouTube channel, but only after persistent pressure and not after listening to his plea. Nobody was aware of it, yet it was a time when Pakistan began to ascend the abyss of failure. It was a line-up tempo when Pakistan had already started to deepen into darkness. According to press sources, he moved to another country within 48 hours of Dubai officials rejecting his application for a visa. Where he lived, though, no one was aware of it. Sadly on 23rd of October 2022, Pakistan had lost its natural beauty in Kenya (Nairobi), yet everyone was still racing blindly down the empty highways.It was a time when adversaries had choked the truth to death. It was the pearl’s demise. Pakistani journalism was even put to death as a result.
At his burial, the floral scent has long since gone. Eye moisture has been dried up. Loved ones’ hearts have so far been in charge. However, the Pakistani investigating team has not yet been successful in locating the Kenyan murderer.
34 people who would be included in the briefing given to the security team from Pakistan were interviewed by Kenyan investigators so far about the incident. Residents reportedly reported seeing a white Toyota Land Cruiser leaving the Magadi, Kenya, shooting range known as Emudump Kiunya at 10 o’clock on October 23. This is where Arshad Sharif was killed, according to the Kenyan daily “The Star.” The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with the registration number KDJ 700F was allegedly taken from the Pangani region and was later found in the area, according to a complaint from the local assistant chief, the residents told detectives.
According to Willis, neighbors were instructed to stay watchful in the interest of neighborhood police and to erect barricades to fend off “thieves.” According to authorities, the locals in the Esunorwa and Tanga area blocked off two highways after hearing the news. They later learned that the car had crossed a bridge built by the police’s General Service Unit (GSU) a short distance away when the police opened fire on it.
On October 28 or 29, the crew will be in Kenya to look into the event.
The Pakistani security team will reportedly be welcomed by representatives of the National Intelligence Service and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and after receiving a briefing from the investigators, they are expected to examine the crime scene.
They might be permitted to talk with Khurram Ahmed, a driver who was with Arshad Sharif when the tragedy occurred, the report said.
The GSU police officers who opened fire, on the other hand, said that they had been told the car was headed in their direction by local villagers. They also provided the investigators with the callers’ contact information and time.A white car with what seemed to be ruptured tyres passed other Asunorwa people who were waiting for the allegedly stolen vehicle, according to the report.
The vehicle arrived at Waqar Ahmed’s second home in the Tanga neighborhood, where he was parked at his gate. Waqar Ahmed is the proprietor of the Kiunya camp and shooting range.
Residents claimed to have seen the vehicle in which Arshad Sharif, the driver escaping uninjured, was shot in the head and died.They claimed that the motorist travelled 20 Kilometers before halting, at which point locals reported the incident to the authorities.
Arshad Sharif’s body was taken into custody by Kaseerin police officers after they arrived after a 30-minute wait.When that happened, a GSU officer at Nake in the Kamukuro region reported being fired at from a car and receiving a wound to his left palm.
Arshad Sharif was killed when GSU police allegedly opened fire on a white car after one of them was hurt. The squad that went to the location did not find any weapons there.
Waqar Ahmed, the proprietor of the shooting range, is the brother of Khurram Ahmed, the driver who was travelling with Arshad Sharif at the time of the event.
Waqar Ahmed reportedly did not pick up the phone or reply to texts when attempts were made to contact him for comment, according to ‘The Star’.
Arshad Sharif resided with a Canadian-born Pakistani family.
According to Kenyan authorities, the murdered Pakistani journalist Arshad Sharif spent the last two months live with a well-known Pakistani family.He spent roughly two months with other Pakistanis in the upscale home on Riverside Drive in Nairobi, where police have located his final moments, according to Da Star.
According to the publication, which cited knowledgeable officials, the family he was staying with is Canadian residents.
They are also related to the proprietors of the Ammodump Keonya shooting range in Magadi, where Arshad Sharif spent the day of October 23 before being fatally shot by police on the Nairobi-Magadi highway, who claimed he was a mistaken identity to them. It is still suspicious that how many gunshots fired towards Sharif’s vehicle, 9 or 14.
In order to get further information for their investigation into the incident, police intend to talk with the Pakistani family.It is unclear if Arshad Sharif’s family was aware of his foreign residence because of the danger to his life.The wealthy family that is hosting them is not very powerful in the city. The family has farms and real estate firms in Kajiado and Nairobi.
