Media Personality Media personality Joe Muchiri has come out to rubbish earlier claims by local media that Joseph Irungu alias Jowie who is his cousin was released from jail after raising Sh2 million cash bail late Wednesday.
In a series of tweets, Joe termed the news as ‘clickbait’ and ‘Fake News’ writing “You could have waited for the family to speak otherwise this is another clickbait headline.”

The social media influencer has hinted that the family will release details about what is really happening behind the scenes either later today or tomorrow morning.
But watu wa news how hard is it to make a phone call and confirm a story?! Click baiting ni mingi sana but anyway story ita toka tu. Hii sio kitu ya ku ficha. Maybe tonight or tomorrow morning.

Jowie was arrested on September 26, 2018, over the murder of a businesswoman Monica Kimani who had just jetted into the country from South Sudan where she was running her family’s business.
The Incident took place at Lamuria Gardens Apartment on the night of September 19, 2018, in Kimani’s rented house.
High Court Judge James Wakiaga released Jowie on a Sh2 million cash bail on February 13, 2020, but he failed to raise the cash his bail terms forcing him to remain behind bars at Kamiti Prisons and later Manyani Maximum Prison.
