Jimi Wanjigi, a former presidential candidate, and his friend Willis Otieno, a well-known lawyer, recently entertained Kenyans with a viral dance video. The clip shows the two men dancing to an Amapiano hit song, celebrating Wanjigi's ability to avoid arrest after police raided his home.
The video was shared by Willis Otieno, who gained popularity for his memorable courtroom moment known as "Piki Piki Ponki." In the video, Otieno is seen in a jungle green sweater and light green shirt, dancing alongside Wanjigi. The celebration followed an unsuccessful police attempt to arrest Wanjigi, who had been accused of having links to anti-government protests.
Despite police officers searching Wanjigi's home for hours, they could not find him. His children reported harassment by the officers, accusing the government of intimidation. However, Wanjigi and Otieno found a moment of joy, dancing together and sharing the video online. Willis Otieno captioned the post, "Rejoicing and vibing with my best friend and party leader, Hon Jimi Wanjigi, after outsmarting Ruto for two days."
The video quickly gained traction on social media, with many netizens expressing their excitement and admiration for Wanjigi's clever evasion. Some even suggested that Wanjigi should consider running for president, praising his intelligence and resilience.
After remaining in hiding for two days, Wanjigi finally emerged on Friday evening. He denied any involvement in the protests but admitted to providing support to the protesters, including buying water and helping with bail for those arrested.
The viral video and Wanjigi's statements have continued to spark discussions online, with many Kenyans following the developments closely
