Former Laikipia Woman Representative Hon. Cate Waruguru is at the centre of a tumultuous and high-stakes drama involving her partner Peter Waweru’s ex-wife Zipporah Njoki.
This ongoing saga, which first grabbed headlines in May 2021 with accusations of assault, has now escalated into a fierce property dispute with both legal and personal implications.
Zipporah Njoki recently received a demand letter from Rock and Pure Limited (a company co-owned by Waruguru and Waweru) requiring her to vacate the matrimonial home by June 30, 2024, or pay a monthly rent of Ksh. 300,000.
Njoki contests this transfer, claiming it occurred without her knowledge or consent. The company claims ownership of the property, having acquired it on April 27, 2021.
Njoki’s legal team responded to this demand, arguing that the property is still subject to ongoing legal suits in the Environment and Land Court and the High Court Family Division.
They maintain that the transfer was unlawful and that evicting Njoki and her children would violate existing court orders designed to protect their welfare.
Meanwhile, Kate seems to have deleted most of Peter’s photos from her Facebook page.
Previously, she constantly posted about him, but since February, his photos have disappeared from her account.
Nowadays, she’s just posting reggae lyrics with cryptic messages, fueling speculation that he is no longer living with her.
The two formed Rock and Pure Limited, with Kate being the majority shareholder.
After the initial drama, in which they ambushed and allegedly roughed up Zippy, the company purchased the house.
Now, they seek to evict Zippy and her children from the house.
Njoki maintains that Waweru’s pursuit of a relationship with Waruguru, which started during a turbulent period in their marriage, fueled the divorce. Waweru had previously announced his divorce from Njoki and claimed that irreconcilable differences led to the dissolution of their marriage.
The public has responded vociferously to the ongoing drama, with many expressing support for Njoki and condemning Waruguru and Waweru’s actions.
Social media platforms like Facebook and TikTok are awash with comments demanding justice for Njoki and her children.
This controversy first erupted on May 12, 2021, when Hon. Cate Waruguru allegedly assaulted Zipporah Njoki at her residence in Utange, Mombasa.
Four men reportedly accompanied Waruguru, who wore a buibui to hide her identity.
The group allegedly beat Njoki, prompting her to scream for help until neighbours intervened.
Njoki subsequently filed a statement with the Bamburi Police Station.
