Let there be no confusion, Arshad Sharif was murdered by a sniper bullet to his head. It was not an accident as is now being floated. He had told me head money had been put on his life so he had to leave Pak. Later he said he had to leave Dubai bec they had traced him there too.

Kenyan police say that armed men shot Arshad Sharif in the head in Nairobi but the very next hour they said it was a case of “mistaken identity”. A journalist Eliud Kibii from Kenya revealed this in a tweet.
The police statement on the #ArshadShariff killing has too many gaps. First, if it was a case of a stolen vehicle, the number plates of the stolen car and the one Arshad was are different. They don't say the make. By the time of the incident, the "abducted" son had been found. 1/

Have no doubt that Arshad Sharif was murdered on the orders of the khaki thugs. Not the first journalist murdered abroad. No condemnation is enough. Murderers masquerading as "protectors" must be held accountable.

He was pursued by our State & driven out of Pak till his targeted murder in Kenya. This is Barrister Shoaib one of his closest friends confirming what many of us knew. At the very least decency should be shown by those who drove him out of Pak to remain silent. Hypocrisy hurts. pic.twitter.com/CtfCrC9hgx

Official police report now says; #ArshadSharif and his brother Khuram found the road blocked 'with small stones and they decided to pass it, it was then that they heard several gunshots." The report does not say WHO was fring the shots. pic.twitter.com/wIJmVj8QMu

3) Why was Arshad Sharif's body recovered about 78 miles away from the point of shooting?
4) As being reported, it was a busy road in capital Nairobi. Why hasn't the Kenya Police produced any CCTV footage so far?
