“Jimmy Wanjigi obituary was planted and not a mix-up” Former Nation editor Patrick Mayoyo spills the beans

Jimmy Wanjigi’s obituary published on Daily Nation is still causing jitters. Former Daily Nation editor Patrick Mayoyo claims the death announcement was a veiled threat against the tycoon.

Mayoyo wonders why Nation editors failed to notice any trickery in the obituary. He blames senior editor at Nation who he says has is behind the stories appearing in NMG publications.

Everything just wrong!

The photo used and the words in the death announcement clearly indicated that Jimmy Wanjigi was the dead person in question. Patrick Mayoyo says editors should have noticed that Jimmy Wanjigi’s parents and company were mentioned in the obituary.

Below is Patrick Mayoyo’s post on Facebook:

THE JIMI OBITUARY IN DAILY NATION WAS PLANTED AND NOT A MIX-UP

The obituary with a picture of Jimi Wanjigi was clearly planted and aimed as serving as a veiled threat against Jimi Wanjigi.

Investigations the Nation Media Group (NMG) says it has launched  should start with one of its senior editors said to be the owner of a public relations company called 360 Media Consulting said to be behind the stories appearing in NMG publications. Nation cannot afford to have an editor who is also a PR practitioner if it wants to be objective.

There was no mix-up in the obituary carried in the Daily Nation. This was a cleverly placed advert and a veiled threat against Jimmy Wanjigi.

The obituary claims the so called James Richard Wanjagi is the son of James Maina and Wambui Maina. These are Jimi Wanjigi’s parents. It adds that this so called Wanjagi owner of Kwacha industries. Jimi owns Kwacha Group. NMG should such for the solutions for the problems  it is facing from within and start with senior editor who wants to bring this public listed publisher down! THE JIMI OBITUARY IN DAILY NATION WAS PLANTED AND NOT A MIX-UP.
