Makaburi, was killed as he left a court compound according to police chief for Kisauni area Richard Ngatia where he had been attending a court hearing. Makaburi and another man were outside the court waiting to be picked up when another vehicle approached and the men were sprayed with bullets killing them instantly.
NTV’s senior investigative reporter, Dennis Okari, has just revealed what Makaburi told him about his death. The Sheikh reportedly told Okari that he longed for his death.
“I asked Makabaru whether he feared facing the same fate as Rogo & Fazul, he said ‘I long for it. I want the death of a Shahid. I pray for it.”
He had however told him that he was not a member of any terrorist outfit.
“Makaburi told me he was innocent and denied ever being involved with Al Shabaab or any terror group.”
In October 2013 the slain Sheikh had apparently told Reuters that he knew he’ll be killed
“I know I will be killed,” Makaburi told Reuters, saying the police would seek ways to justify shooting him. “I’m ready to die for it. If they want to or if they don’t, they will give me martyrdom.”
