Nairobi Businessman Tom Mboya Jailed for 23 Years for Shooting Ranalo Foods Owner

Nairobi businessman Tom Oywa Mboya was on Wednesday sentenced to 23 years in prison.

Mboya was handed the sentence by Chief Magistrate Martha Mutuku of Milimani law courts after he was found guilty of attempted murder.

The tour operator was accused of shooting Ranalo Foods Restaurant owner William Osewe multiple times in 2016.

The court heard that Mboya shot Osewe in December 2016 at Garden Estate in Kasarani, Nairobi following an argument over a woman identified as Stella Mutheu, who is believed to be Osewe’s wife.

The court also convicted him of unlawfully wounding Wilfred Tembula, who was injured during the shooting incident.

Following the shooting, Osewe was admitted at Aga Khan Hospital’s High Dependency Unit (HDU), where he underwent surgeries to remove the bullets.

Mboya surrendered himself to Kasarani police station and was arraigned in court where he denied charges of attempted murder. He was released on a cash bail of Sh300,000 pending the hearing and determination of the case.
