Night inferno at Mutahi Ngunyi’s Runda home.
Political analyst Mutahi Ngunyi has recorded a statement with the police over the inferno that occurred at his Runda home on Wednesday.
Nairobi regional commander Augustine Nthumbi said Ngunyi went to the nearest police station to record the statement.
"Police are investigating the cause of an inferno to know who started the fire, why and how it happened. It's the investigations that will help," he told the Star.
Nthumbi said there were three people in the house.
"Mutahi, his wife and their housekeeper were in the house when the fire broke out but they all escaped unhurt," he said.
Mutahi's home was set ablaze by unknown persons in Runda.
The huge house went up in flames as black smoke billowed from the residence at around 1.45 am.
