November 18, 2021, will be remembered as the day three terror fugitives were recaptured in Mwingi, Kitui county, after a daring escape from Kamiti prison.
However, a viral image has sparked controversy, suggesting that the witness who led to their recapture may have been a special government agent.
The image, which appears to show the witness in a different setting, has raised eyebrows on social media, with many questioning the authenticity of the witness's story.
According to the witness, the fugitives acted suspiciously and were cornered by villagers who bought them drinks and snacks.
But as the image suggests, perhaps this was not just an ordinary prison escape and capture.
With the recent sacking of the Kenya Prisons Service Commissioner-General, Wycliffe Ogalo, and the appointment of his successor, Brigadier (Rtd) John Kibaso Warioba, many are wondering if this was just another State-influenced circus.
The DCI had placed a Sh60 million bounty on the escapees' heads, but it remains unclear if anyone will receive the reward for their recapture.
