Dida’s Family Appeals to the Kenya Government to Help Secure His Release From Prison

Posted on by Baba Ghafla

Mohammed Abduba Dida, a former Kenyan presidential candidate, is serving a seven-year prison sentence in the United States for stalking and intimidation.

Dida, who traveled to the US in 2019 to pursue his education, married an American woman. However, their relationship soured, leading to a restraining order against him.

Dida’s family alleges that he unknowingly violated the restraining order by visiting a mosque in a restricted area. They have appealed to the Kenyan government for help in securing his release.

“We are praying for him and trying to find ways to visit him, get another lawyer, and assist him. As a family, our resources are limited, and we need government intervention,” said a family member.

Dida was convicted of two charges in 2022 and sentenced to a total of nine years in prison. He has been incarcerated at the Big Muddy River Correctional Center since November 2022 and is expected to be released in April 2029

A house belonging to two-time presidential candidate Abduba Dida was raided by police after neighbors reported suspicious activity.

The raid came after immigration officers on Wednesday morning arrested 15 illegal Chinese immigrants in South C. The 15, both male and female and among them underage girls, were found operating a brothel in the estate.

Residents in South C alerted police of a possible brothel located in Abduba Dida’s house after noticing high frequency of mass movements of young people to and from the house.

Police raided the house and found sex enhancing drugs and contraceptives. A makeshift studio was also found within the house, other items found include cash in foreign currency, laptops, cameras, identification cards and phones.

Police are still carrying out investigations to determine whether the house was being used as a brothel and if illegal immigrants had been in the house and where they were from.

 

 

100,000 per month for 10 years! Abduba Dida in trouble as wife seeks 12 million in divorce

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Former presidential candidate Abduba Dida will have to fork out a whopping Kes 12 million if his estranged wife has her way in court.

Estail Ali Ibrahim has filed for divorce citing cruelty, contempt and disrespect from Dida who married her as his third wife in 2008.

In her case at the Kadhi’s court in Nairobi, Estail is seeking Kes 12 million which according to her is calculated at the rate of Kes 100,000 a month for the entire duration that she was married to Dida.

In her petition, Estail indicates that she has been married to Dida since September 5th 2008 and that the former presidential candidate only paid Kes 1,000 as her bride price.

Dida’s estranged wife also wants the court to compel him to restrain from spreading false accusations about her including allegations of adultery.

 

 

 

Abduba Dida mounts attacks on Uhuru Kenyatta’s drunkenness even as the spotlight remains on Babu Owino

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Abduba Dida has stepped up attacks on president Uhuru Kenyatta’s insobriety. The former presidential candidate insists that 40 million Kenyans are being driven in a bus by a drunk driver.

The Alliance for Real Change presidential flag bearer started his attacks on Uhuru on Monday September 25th when he pleaded with the president’s family to take him to rehab.

Dida reiterated his worry about president Uhuru Kenyatta’s drunkenness during an interview with Ken Mijungu on NTV’s Side Bar on Wednesday night September 27th.

“Why do you stop a Kenyan and test whether he’s sober or not…you love him and you want to take care of his life because he will risk his life and the lives of the passengers. If you can’t trust one Kenyan with his life and four passengers, why do you allow the president to be drunk? Is he above the law?” Dida said in part.

Asked how he could prove his claim, Dida explained that anyone could tell Uhuru was a drunkard just by analyzing what how he acts and what other people say about him.

“It’s is an IEBC requirement that any presidential candidate must be tested and must be of sound mind. You analyse a character by what he says, by what he does and by what others say about him. When you add up to that, do you want to say the president is sober? Atwoli said please calm down and be sober when you are talking to people. Even the deputy president said he’s managing this country, and he says this talking to his people in Kalenjin language,” said Dida.

Abduba Dida: Uhuru should be taken to rehab, if you love and respect him, please take him there

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Abduba Dida has shared his concerns about president Uhuru Kenyatta’s health. The former presidential candidate asked Uhuru’s family to take him to rehab saying that the move will be for his own good.

Speaking during a press conference on Monday September 25th, Dida explained that if he was president he would have given Uhuru a job only if he had gone to rehab first.

“Uhuru would have been one man who if he asks, God would have accepted his prayers but only after going for rehabilitation. Sincerely speaking… it is not an issue of tribal, Uhuru needs 3 months rehabilitation, urgent, if you love him and respect him, please take him there,” Abduba Dida said.

Dida also vowed to vote for Uhuru Kenyatta in repeat election if he goes for blood and urine tests. The Alliance for Real Change presidential flag bearer argued that the reddening of Uhuru’s eyes was an indication of substance abuse.

“I will vote for Uhuru Kenyatta if he goes for tests mkojo na damu and he’s free, i will vote for him…It’s not a joke. Kwanini watu sports wanakimbia alafu anaambiwa wewe simama because that running is extra ordinary, hebu leta mkojo na damu…anaambiwa umemeza kitu. Kwani who is he (Uhuru), how can your eyes be red 24/7? You know just asking. Nimekosa kuuliza hio?” Dida said.

Abduba Dida exploits the benefits of being a presidential candidate – orders IG to increase his GSU bodyguards to 20

Posted on by Martin Oduor

Abduba Dida is making the most out of being a presidential candidate; he has rejected four GSU officers attached to his security detail and instead wants IG to increase the number.

Inspector General of Police Joseph Boinnet has been put in a difficult position by the demands of some presidential candidates who command less than 1% approval ratings but demand equal treatment with other candidates with double digits approval ratings.

Alliance for Real Change presidential candidate protested when IG assigned two GSU officers to protect him until August 8th general election.

The IG revised the number and added two more GSU officers to Dida’s security detail. But guess what, Abduba Dida still wants more GSU officers even when the threats to his life are unheard of.

Dida turned down IG’s offer of four GSU officers on his security detail on Wednesday and insisted on having 20 bodyguards as he had requested earlier.

Even though Dida’s request appears to be unreasonable, the Alliance for Real Change presidential candidate is right to request more guards since all presidential and deputy presidential candidates are equal for purposes of the election.

The Constitution, in Article 138 (8) holds that a presidential election shall be cancelled and a new election held on three grounds, one of which (b) reads, “a candidate for election as President or Deputy President dies on or before the scheduled election date”.
