Hours have turned into days, days into weeks and now it’s more than two months but controversial blogger and Jackal News Managing Editor, Dickson Bogonko Bosire is yet to be traced. However, the search for Bogonko is still on going and for the past two days, his former schoolmate and friend, Dennis Itumbi retraced the path that Bogonko took before his disappearance.

The ‘Government Blogger’ posted photos and information he had regarding Bogonko’s last moments before he went missing.

#LetsFindBogonko among the last three photos Bogonko sent to friends on his Whattsup is this one….

 

 

The last photo sent by Bogonko, was that of him crossing a road in Mwea, Kirinyaga, where he had gone for a resting weekend. He was heading back to Nairobi. He met some friends that night in Nrb. So no doubt he got back safely….here is that photo as sent to friends.He never went home that night, according to a Cousin he was housing in South B….#LetsFindBogonko

 

 

#LetsFindBogonko After returning from Kirinyaga on Tuesday, he was at Giggles briefly and those he spoke to say he was in a jovial mood and he spoke about a major story about a girl who had been impregnated by a certain politician. He narrated the story to a journalist friend, but did not finish as he had to go for the interview with his source. He Was convinced the story was water tight.

#LetsFindBogonko on Thursday, he went to Giggles, Porter House and simmers. He spoke of a High Court Judge who told him to go slow on ICC “they can mess you up”, he also expressed fear about pressure he was getting not to publish a certain story, he believed it was true so he published it anyway. At simmers he made several calls and the last text was to his sister asking “hope you are well”…Earlier that day he withdrew 400 bob from Rams Communications in South B…

#LetsFindBogonko Friends got concerned when during the West gate incident, Bogonko did not write a single story on his blog.He met over 7 people on Thursday and all his conversations had a similar theme. Friends went to his house and a cousin he houses explained he had not been home since Tuesday. We reported him missing and informed his brother and sister. We then contributed and sponsored his brother to come to Nairobi. The family reported a missing person to the Industrial Area Police. We then agreed to check City Mortuary just incase he was at West Gate and KNH….The search began….A tale of heartbreaks.

#LetsFindBogonko Naivasha Morgue called and said they had a body that matched our profile, they told the police. We requested Naivasha journalists to visit and confirm, The office of the Nakuru Governor also assisted us. We also requested Elkanah, the elder bro to head there on our behalf. They all reported it was not BB.Call records were equally without a hint. A month later we got a lead….

#LetsFindBogonko we got a crucial lead, but due to the false alarm we had received before, we initially ignored it, but informed police. Then a week ago, we confirmed that the lead was serious. Unfortunately, I cannot go into the detail, but we hope we succeed in finding our Friend BB. The second lead is also being checked. Simmers lead…for now we remain hopeful that together we will find Bosire

 

Like the rest, #LetsFindBogonko
