Edgar Obare is at the center of a legal storm with over 20 Million claims in damages.
Westwick College, a nursing school in Gigiri, Nairobi, Kenya, has taken drastic measures, offering a hefty reward of 100,000 Kenyan shillings for any information leading to Obare’s arrest.
This unprecedented move comes after Obare’s relentless pursuit of truth led him to expose alleged misconduct within the college’s management.
In a series of damning social media posts on January 27, 2024, Obare shed light on grievances voiced by students regarding unfulfilled promises of overseas opportunities despite hefty financial investments.
Obare’s posts resonated with numerous individuals who came forward to share their own experiences, amplifying the calls for accountability.
However, instead of addressing the concerns raised, Westwick College opted to pursue legal action against Obare for defamation.
In response to the reward offered for his arrest, Obare laughed off and criticized the gesture, deeming the 100,000 Kenyan shillings as a mere pocket change in comparison to the gravity of his name and the situation. He claims that such an offer is a blatant disregard for his reputation and the pursuit of justice.
The tension between Obare and Westwick College exposed larger issues of transparency, accountability, and freedom of speech. While the college seeks retribution for perceived damages to its reputation, Obare remains steadfast in his commitment to uncovering the truth and advocating for the rights of those affected.
As the legal battle intensifies, the broader implications of this clash between the blogger and a powerful institution will leave one at a loss, but who will it be?
