Nelson Havi: How Meeting Over Beer Saved Him Life

Ex-LSK Boss Nelson Havi recounted his close encounter with death.

He described how a fraudulent 200 million shillings deal with a representative could easily endanger his life.

A beer bottle shared with a friend at a nearby spot allowed him to evade the arrangement, ultimately preserving his whole life.

Lawyer Nelson Havi recounted a life-altering experience in which he came close to death due to a KSh 200 million fraud case. Havi explained that individuals being investigated by the DCI asked for his legal counsel, but he refused after a friend cautioned him not to accept the case. He noted that the suspects and their newly appointed attorney were killed under ambiguous circumstances just a week after he turned down their proposal.

On Thursday, November 7, Havi shared on his social media account how he escaped death in connection with a case related to KSh 200 million.

The senior counsel disclosed that he demanded KSh 5 million before he could agree to represent the suspects. “Some young men sold Sirona Hotel using a fake title and received KSh 200 million. They came to me when the DCI attached their accounts then with only KSh 25 million remaining. I asked them to deposit fees of KSh 5 million before I could move to court,” Havi wrote “In the evening, we had maji ya anasa with Mugambi Imanyara, and I told him about it. He told me, “Those men are the walking dead. Do not take their money,”” he continued. 

Havi disclosed that a week after his meeting with Imanyara, the suspects, together with their new lawyer, were shot dead under unclear circumstances. “A week later, I saw a bullet-ridden Mercedes Benz 200C across my office at Parklands Station. I asked the OCPD, my school mate from Musingu what happened. He told me, “wale mawakili wa Sirona na client wao waliumwa wote. Hakuna kesi tena.”
