Missing lawyer resurfaces, claims Uhuru attended ‘illegal’ funeral
A lawyer who had gone into hiding soon after Mr Mark Too’s burial two weeks ago, resurfaced over the weekend and vowed to move to court to obtain orders and have the body exhumed.
Lawyer Simon Lilan, who had sought court orders barring the burial, claimed on Monday that President Uhuru Kenyatta had attended an illegal funeral.
He now wants Mark Too’s body exhumed and a specimen extracted for forensic examination to establish the true cause of his death.
CAUSE OF DEATH
“I will stop at nothing until the actual cause of death of my friend is established. This does not mean that I was opposed to his burial,” said Mr Lilan during a press conference in Eldoret on Monday.
He was accompanied by his elder brother Joseph Tallam.
“After Mark Too died, I moved to court and obtained orders stopping his burial. This is when two vehicles started trailing my car and I and my elder brother John Talam, who happens to be my driver, could notice that the occupants were not up to any good,” Mr Lilan said.
He said he is seeking the orders as of Mr Too’s friend and legal adviser and that he has no malice by instituting the exhumation suit.
