The pulling down of the stories comes days after local media began poking holes into the Sky news story.
Last week, The Star reported that the man whos pictures were used was not that of Manyasi as alleged.
This was after a Facebook profile of 'Cedric Junior' emerged with photos that were used by Sky News to identify Manyasi as the stowaway.
In yet another twist, the parents of Paul Manyasi according to Sky News are Isaac and Janet Manyasi.
Issac who appeared on a story by Sky News confirming the identity of the stowaway changed his narrative.
But on being asked about it by KTN News, Issac said that his son, who he called Cedric, was alive and in Nairobi.
On Thursday, Daily Nation also wrote a contradicting piece claiming that the man in the photo, Isaac Shivonje is a remandee at the Kamiti Maximum Prison.
