Wendy’s former manager, Joe Mwangi spends 5 days locked up

Wendy Waeni’s ex-manager, Joe Mwangi was on Tuesday arrested following forgery claims of impersonation. However, he will spend more time locked up.

Joseph Mwangi detention runs for 5 days (since his arrest) to allow further investigations without any form of interference.

This is after allegedly impersonating the Interior CS, Fred Matiang’i in a letter addressed to the young acrobat’s mother as a threat.

The court’s decision was arrived at after senior principal magistrate, Bernard Ochoi’s ruling that the detention period is valid.

However, the police intended to have the child ‘extortionist’ detained for a whooping 7 days before the court’s ruling on 5 days detention.

According to the chief magistrate, Mr Mwangi ran into hiding after getting wind that the police are after him.

Police investigations are now addressing a complaint raised by Wendy’s mother. Where she cites that Mr Mwangi forged a letter purporting to be from Dr Matiangi, sent via mail.
