Alex Mwakideu’s message to LGBTQ activists

Chiloba, whose body was discovered in Uasn Gishu county after unknown men dropped it along the road in a metal box using an unnumbered vehicle.

As soon as the death of his news hit the headlines, many LGBTQ+ activists in Kenya condemned his killing while claiming that homophobic cases were on the rise hence the death of Chiloba.

Some, like Dennis Karuri who is also a member of the community, went on video crying about the death of the slain model and even said seeking asylum out of the country was now top of his consideration.

However, Mwakideu, while mourning Chiloba, called out the activists who spoke first before learning the truth of what led to the young man’s model.

Part of his Instagram post read:

“My training as a journalist does not allow me to comment on stories that are still under investigation. So I won’t. Lakini, I was not happy when some members of the LGBTQ community (not all) were up in arms, saying he was murdered by some homophobic people. Now, what happens when the truth finally comes out? When it begins to look like someone has come out to confess, he killed him because of some cheating allegations. (Remember these are still allegations. The matter has not been concluded)”

He further added:

“When you go ahead and post issues that insinuate he was murdered because he was gay, you are only confusing people who are close to him and who are mourning. I wish you knew. If you are a member of the LGBTQ community, sio kila saa ni vita jamani. I am straight, and I can assure you that we are together in this because a Kenyan was murdered. This is a murder case and not an LGBTQ case. Ilikuwa sio lazima tuingize issues za LGBTQ.”

Chiloba’s best friend confesses to killing model

In developing news about the slain model, his photographer friend Photographer Jackton confessed to killing Chiloba.

Jackton told the police he murdered the LGBTQ activist for cheating on him and that the two lovebirds had been in a relationship for a long time and had lived together for a year.
