The Star Newspaper Mis-reports Fidel Odinga’s Death.

Yesterday there was a clamor as every journalist, real or imagined ran  back and forth trying to be the first to break the story that Raila Odinga’s eldest son was no more.

In the clamor of likes,clicks and ad sense monies the star newspaper found itself in a little filthy corner when a writer by the name of Joseph Kariuki misreported and distorted the airs around the death of the former Prime Minister’s Son. According to him (or his sources) Fidel had passed on at the Nairobi hospital where he had been rushed by his wife! He would go on to say that the cause of his death was still unknown- But not quite,before ending his article would point out that Fidel had been with his father earlier that afternoon for lunch, According to him, Fidel later went out and returned home in the wee hours of Sunday Morning complaining of breathing problems, He was  rushed to Nairobi hospital where he passed on while being attended to by medics. 

Here is a snip of what the star had reported ,immediately the death of Fidel hit the headlines.

shortly after realising that he had made a ghastly error, Joseph Kariuki amended his article…

The mainstream media bore the news that Fidel had passed on in his sleep after a night out with his friends. The cause of his  death was still under speculation (by conspiracy theorists and experts). The police had gone to the venue in a bid to unravel the mystery behind the sudden death of Fidel Odinga. 

Seems like the star Knew things we didn’t or maybe they were reporting of a different Fidel- Their Fidel. A Fidel who passed on in Nairobi Hospital after complaining of breathing problems.
