In their apology, Citizen TV said they unintentionally used his image, which he had shared mourning the death of his friend and protégé, and that they had reached out to him and apologized.

During our earlier broadcast at 7PM, we inadvertently used the wrong pictures of VDJ Jones while making reference to DJ Mike Kay, whose body was retrieved from River Mathioya in Murang’a County. We have since established that the two were friends an VDJ Jones had posted a picture together with the disease whilst mourning him.

We have reached out to VDJ Jones and apologized,” read Trevor Ombija.

Citizen TV had done a feature on Kiunyu area which has become notorious for the dumping of dead bodies, in Murang’a County.
