As reported by Capital FM. Award winning sports photographer, Stafford Ondego, has received
threats on his mobile phone following the picture that appeared in
Friday’s edition of the local daily.
“Just responding to threatening calls am receiving; Am not
responsible for the Jamal photo in our paper. I take action pictures in
the stadium during matches and that’s all!” Ondego who has won the
Kenyan Premier League photographer of the year thrice posted on his Face
Book wall.
Speaking to Capital Sport, Ondego said the phone
calls have been relentless since the country awoke to the shocking photo
showing Mohammed covered in a plume of smoke from a Shisha pipe
alongside that of the player in action for Stars against the Super
Eagles.
“I understand he has been looking for my number and there are also
those who are saying he is intending to sue but the truth is, I do not
cover any entertainment beat,” Ondego said on phone.
“He has apparently called some editors and colleagues from other
publications seeking my number but they have been professional enough to
withhold it,” the former Kenya Times photographer added.
