There was drama in Kiriaini-Murang’a County after a man who had eloped to Nairobi with a maid returned home.
Tabitha Wangari, the wife, claims that her husband left her after he received his tea farming bonus early in June 2024.
“Alipewa bonus ya Majani karibu Ksh 170,000 alafu akauza mbuzi na kuku tano akisema hatarudi huku Tena… Wakachukuana na Shiku huyo Wa bar ati juu ni mrembo na mchanga waende Nairobi kukula raha…,” said the wife.
Samson Waithaka, the husband, claims that Shiku used charms on him to obtain his money.
“Bonus ilipotoka, Shiku alianza kunionyesha tumapenzi, alikuwa ananifanya vitu bibi yangu hajai nifanyia… Alikuwa anaguza kipara, ananifinyafinya vidole za mguu na tuvitu twingine wewe tutamu,” Samson said.
Samson claims that everything was fine in the Kasarani area of Nairobi, where they had rented a one-bedroom home, until early last month, when Shiku threw him out and brought in another man to live with.
He said that he had furnished the house and bought a 47-inch plasma TV for her.
After returning home today, he tried pleading with his wife to take him back, but she was unreceptive.
She instructed him to return to Nairobi and stay with his Shiku, as she had recently married a new husband.
“Sasa ananiambia ako na bwana mwingine, miezi Tatu tu ndio anacomplain ati nilienda, anihurumie tu, Sina chochote isipokuwa hizi nguo. Shiku alichukua hadi simu yangu,” Samson lamented.
