The glamorous world of Bonfire Adventures has been rocked by shocking allegations as its Managing Director, Sarah Njoki Nyaga, accuses her estranged husband, Simon Kabu, of threats, assault, and misuse of a firearm.
In a dramatic turn of events, Sarah, a celebrated businesswoman, has appealed to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to investigate her husband after an alleged violent altercation at their matrimonial home. Sources claim the incident unfolded when Sarah discovered another woman in their home. Mr. Kabu, enraged by the confrontation, reportedly assaulted her, brandished a gun and machete, and forced her out of the house at gunpoint.
Sarah’s legal counsel, in a strongly worded letter to the DCI, painted a chilling picture of escalating threats and intimidation. “Our client has suffered grave physical and emotional harm, including threats to her life,” the letter reads. It highlights a disturbing statement allegedly made by Kabu: “If she were to be found dead along Kiambu Road, he would not be to blame.” Witnesses to this remark are reportedly prepared to testify.
The letter also accuses Kabu of boasting about his connections to high-ranking individuals, claiming he could harm Sarah without facing consequences. These actions, the counsel argues, violate Section 238 of the Penal Code, which criminalizes threats to kill or harm.
The allegations against Kabu have not only put their private lives under intense public scrutiny but also spotlighted the broader issue of gender-based violence (GBV) in Kenya. Sarah’s plea for justice comes amidst a troubling rise in femicide cases, prompting calls for urgent intervention to protect victims and ensure accountability for perpetrators.
While the DCI has yet to comment on the case, the gravity of the claims is expected to draw significant attention. This high-profile dispute serves as a grim reminder of the hidden struggles behind Kenya’s glittering entrepreneurial success stories, as well as the pressing need for stronger safeguards against domestic violence.
As investigations begin, the once-celebrated power couple’s public fallout continues to dominate headlines, casting a shadow over their previously admired brand and raising questions about the extent of the alleged misconduct.
