  • Vawda familiar with Waqar already.
  • PTI's former member claims Sharif's murder planned in Pakistan.
  • Vawda earlier deemed journalist's murder as "premeditated".
ISLAMABAD: Former PTI member and federal minister Faisal Vawda Monday alleged that some people within the PTI were involved in slain journalist Arshad Sharif's murder.
"Planning of the murder was carried out in Pakistan by those who could benefit from it," Vawda said while hinting at the planning behind Sharif's killing.
Commenting on one of the brothers who hosted the journalist in Kenya, Vawda said: "Waqar [Ahmed] studied with me in college. They have a property business in Karachi."

'Arshad's murder premeditated'​

On October 26, the former PTI member claimed that as against the version of the Kenyan police, journalist Sharif was shot at from a close range, therefore, his murder was "premeditated."
In an explosive presser held in Islamabad last week, Vawda alleged that a person was "conspiring" against the slain journalist and he had informed PTI Chairman Imran Khan about the "conspirator".
Vawda stated that a common man could not send Arshad to Kenya from Dubai. "Those are the people who wish to see instability and chaos in the country. This wasn't a plain death. It was a cold-blooded murder," he reiterated.
Following the press conference by Vawda — in which he indicated violence and bloodshed in the long march, the party revoked his membership, barring him from representing PTI on all fronts.
The former minister, however, insisted that he did not say anything to garner such a response from the PTI.

Penthouse where Arshad Sharif stayed in Nairobi owned by Waqar Ahmed, Khurram Ahmed​

  • Building is located in a highly secure and relatively affluent area of Nairobi.
  • Penthouse building has been visited by investigators.
  • Arshad Sharif provided details of same penthouse to police when he obtained a visa for Kenya.
NAIROBI: Journalist Arshad Sharif stayed in the penthouse of an apartment building in Nairobi owned by brothers Waqar Ahmed and Khurram Ahmed, Geo News investigation showed.
The building, located in a highly secure and relatively affluent area of Nairobi, has over 24 luxury flats occupied by private tenants. It’s understood that Waqar and Khurram reserved the penthouse exclusively for Sharif, where the slain journalist stayed for over two months before his tragic killing some three hours out of Nairobi in a deserted area.
It’s the same penthouse from where Sharif did his vlogs as he was using YouTube to air his views after being removed from his job at a private channel.
The penthouse building has been visited by investigators who met Waqar at the site for several hours and questioned him about Sharif’s routine and what both the brothers knew about the journalist's stay.
Khurram and Waqar are originally from Karachi and both own and run several property projects in Nairobi. They also own a farmhouse and firing range some 300 hours out of the capital where Sharif was last seen before his death.
The role of both the brothers is at the centre of the investigation by both Pakistani and Kenya investigators.
Sharif provided details of the same penthouse apartment to the police when he obtained a visa for Kenya. He told the immigration authorities that he will be staying at the same apartment as it was owned by his main sponsor — Waqar. Sharif’s sponsor had sent an invitation to Sharif at the request of a British Pakistani businessman based in Dubai.
The apartment is located off a road just 10 minutes from the Pakistan High Commission in Nairobi. This location is known to the local Pakistani and Indian community and it is widely known that Waqar and his brother had developed the building. The building is located next to a huge tower owned by an Indian businessman. In the neighbourhood, mostly foreigners, well-off professionals and middle-class people either own or rent out flats.
The entry to the building is by invitation only and no one is allowed beyond the gate unless the flat owners permit so. The reception is manned by at least three armed security guards.

News sent questions to both brothers but they are yet to respond to them. However, their lawyer stressed that Sharif was killed in case of mistaken identity.
“The Kenya police issued a statement and regretted the shooting as a case of mistaken identity. That’s all we know for now. The investigations are still ongoing and our clients are fully cooperating with the investigation,” Waqar and Khurram’s lawyer Daniel Kiragu told Geo News.
However, this is not an account many in Kenya and Pakistan are willing to believe. The Kenyan police contradicted its statement by first saying that Sharif was killed in a case of mistaken identity, but later it alleged that shots were fired at the police from inside Sharif’s car and he was killed when the response unit fired back.
After arriving in the Kenyan Capital, the Geo News investigation team revealed that Sharif’s visit visa to Kenya was sponsored and he did not enter the East African country via a visa on arrival. The letter by the investigators also confirmed what Geo News had reported.

The best investigative journalist, a thorough professional who was the asset of the nation was killed in cold blood, brutally by people who need to protect him.

Such a disgrace, his investigative reports could have been used by FIA, NAB, IB other agencies to further the cause of rooting out corruption from the country and for the well being of the nation.

Ironically this is the reason he was killed, for his patriotism and his professionalism, and who cannot sell his conscience, no one could have bought him.
