The family expressed hope that justice would prevail for their deceased son.
Family shocked and alleges malice
Abel Onchari, the family representative maintained that reports on Maigo’s death were one-sided, malicious, and crafted in a way that hurts the deceased reputation.
"All the lawyers here, please do not let this lie down. Please come together and build a strong case. We want to know the truth.
"He was just a junior staff, why was his story covered like a Cabinet minister? That is a big question. We have heard, watched, and read a lot about him and we are shocked. As a family, we are still in so much pain. We want those who published the live pictures of the suspect scaling the perimeter wall to also show us when Maigo entered his house and with whom. There is no need to lie to us because we are all learned. They should share Maigo's last moments the same way they shared the suspect escaping," Onchari stated.
