This man Cliff Ombeta…why do all murder suspects want to hire him? He’s now representing actor Jamal Nassor’s killer

Cliff Ombeta is arguably the most sought-after criminal defense lawyer in Kenya. He has represented so many people and managed to win most of his cases or at least secure freedom for his clients.

Ombeta has represented the Akasha brothers who are wanted in the US for drug trafficking, he managed to stop their extradition.

He has also represented the likes of Miguna Miguna, NYS corruption poster girl Anne Ngirita, and even fake doctor Mugo Wa Wairimu before he refused to represent him again (Ombeta secured Mugo’s release when he was first arrested for raping patients at his clinic).

Murder suspects

All ‘high profile’ murder suspects have sought the services of Cliff Ombeta, the likes of Pastor Ng’ang’a (killed a pedestrian) Migori governor Okoth Obado (Sharon Otieno murder) Joseph Irungu (Monica Kimani murder) and now Grace Kanamu Namulo (Jamal Nassul murder).

Grace Kanamu Namulo stabbed Jamal Nassul Gadafi to death on the night of December 11th 2018 following a quarrel. She is now being represented by lawyer Cliff Ombeta.

“I managed to get him out on previous matters but now no” Lawyer Cliff Ombeta dumps Mugo Wa Wairimu

Mugo Wa Wairimu will have to find a new lawyer after Cliff Ombeta opted out of his case. The lawyer represented the quack in 2015 when he was first accused of defiling a woman at his Prestige Clinic which was located in Githurai 44.

Ombeta successfully managed to secure Mugo’s release through bail, the quack however was unappreciative and went back to doing the very things got him arrested in the first place.

The fake doctor opened a new clinic in Kayole after he was released on bail, he operated the clinic without following any medical regulations.

NTV exposé, which is the reason why police hunted him down, shows how the quack conducts abortions and consumes alcohol inside his clinic in Kayole as he attends to patients.

Feared backlash from women

Lawyer Cliff Ombeta refused to represent Mugo in the second case claiming that he fears facing backlash from women considering the quack’s criminal record.

“Being a man with a daughter, I do not want to be involved in this matter. I have managed to get him out on previous matters but now I have decided this matter is a little bit murky. I tend to also think the energy that I will receive is negative especially from ladies and women,” said Cliff Ombeta.
