Former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko has sustained the fight against Gender Based Violence (GBV) in the country.

Barely two days after his own daughter, Salma Sonko, was assaulted by her boyfriend, the former county boss has stepped up to lead a campaign against domestic violence.

On Tuesday, November 18, Sonko received a distress call from a Mombasa-based woman asking for help after her sister was assaulted by her boyfriend, a renowned boxer in the Coastal city.

Sonko asked to speak to the victim, who identified herself as Zuhura.

She claimed her boyfriend stormed into their rented house at around 10 pm and started assaulting her over KSh 16k he lent her in 2022.

“He banged the door and entered the house because I had not locked it. He demanded KSh 16k that he lent me in 2022. I promised to pay him the following day and offered to surrender some of my household to him if I failed to clear the whole amount…I even told him to take everything apart from the bed,” narrated Zuhura.

The boyfriend did not take any of her offers; he proceeded to assault her and eject her from the house, where she said they shared rent expenses.

She reported the matter to the Bamburi Police Station. According to a police officer who spoke with Sonko on the phone, Zuhura was forced out of her house unprepared and arrived at the station partially dressed.

Zuhura claimed she had been assaulted before in February 2023, but they reconciled even after reporting the incident and getting an OB.

“He doesn’t want her to work, yet she is the one who pays bills and feeds him. He has nothing, so Zuhura has to work to provide for him,” said Zuhura’s sister.

She claimed the boyfriend, who relocated to Mombasa from an Arab nation, has a habit of assaulting her sister whenever he gets drunk.

“He gets drunk and turns violent. Zuhura has had enough and wants him to leave. He has assaulted her not once, not twice. This is the third OB we are recording against him,” she said.

Sonko advised the woman to seek treatment and fill out a P3 form to pave the way for police arrest and investigation.

“I will pay for your treatment if you can’t afford it. Take the P3 form, fill it out and return it to the police for action. I will also refund the money you owe him. I’m sending it now, but ensure you have filled out the P3 form. We want that man to be arrested now,” said Sonko.

A woman has shared a disturbing account of her abduction in Abuja, detailing how kidnappers allegedly exploited her personal information during captivity.

According to her, she was kidnapped while going home in a bus and kept blindfolded for two days as her captors demanded a ransom of ₦5 million from her family and friends.

She further alleged that while she was still in captivity, the abductors accessed her phone and used it to download a loan application.

With her ATM card and identification documents in her possession at the time, they reportedly secured a loan of ₦148,000 without her knowledge.

The victim said she remained unaware of the transaction throughout her ordeal, as she was blindfolded and focused on pleading for her life.

She revealed that when she later found out and wrote to the loan app, they insisted she must pay off the loan.

“I was kidnapped in a bus in Abuja. They blindfolded my eyes for two days. Even after asking for ransom of 5 million from my family and friends, they took a loan. They downloaded a loan app on my phone, and I always carry my ATM card and my ID cards in my bag, so they used it to up the loan app and took a loan of 148 thousand Naira. I didn’t even know about the loan all the time I was there cause I was blindfolded and just begging for my life….” she partly said.

Man Ends His Marriage After Finding Photographs Of His Wife With Another Man While Browsing Google Maps

A husband was left shocked and reportedly had to end his marriage after discovering photos of his wife with another man while using Google Maps.

The man was using Google Maps to plan a route before setting off on a journey when he noticed an image of his wife sitting on a bench, stroking the hair of another man whose head rested in her lap.

Captured by a Google camera vehicle in Lima, the Peruvian capital, the stunned husband said the photograph grabbed his attention because the woman pictured seemed to be wearing identical clothing to pieces his wife owned.

Although the photo dated back to 2013, the furious husband challenged his wife with proof of her previous betrayal.

The pair, whose identities remain anonymous, subsequently divorced after the woman confessed to having an affair.

In a twist of fate, she was photographed with her lover on a bench near the city’s Puente de los Suspiros de Barranco (Bridge of Sighs of the Ravine).

 

The husband recently posted the photographs on Facebook where they sparked considerable reaction amongst users.

One social media commenter, San Pateste, said: “What a small world it is… It would have been enough if she said to her husband that she did not love him any more.”

Guillermo Sanchez added: “Out of 100 women, 90 per cent are not loyal, the rest are loyal and only have one eye (hahaha) or are immortal (hahaha).”
