The event has sparked varied responses on social media, where people have differing views about the accusations.
On Wednesday, June 4, Ababu Namwamba’s longtime bodyguard, Jonah Rotich, was laid to rest.
Ababu along with his companion Amy Lucia attended the funeral of Rotich’s loved one to pay their respects to the deceased officer.
Yet, an emotional scene occurred as Rotich’s brother stepped up to the podium to deliver his speech.
Were Ababu Namwamba’s bodyguards mistreated by his wife?
He charged his spouse with ill-treatment throughout their life together, stating that he found no tranquility within his own household.
While delivering his comments and describing the hardships endured by his brother at the hand of his spouse, the widow swiftly approached the podium and cut him off.
With great fury, she moved closer and directly aimed at his eyes, just as the man pushed him forward. Then, someone else intervened and pulled the enraged woman aside.
“Rotich endured greatly. Ababu Namwamba, despite your collaboration with him, you were unaware of the frustration lurking beneath his courageous demeanor. He confided in me that he found satisfaction in his job and appreciated serving under Ababu for 18 years; however, he felt no issues with his superior. Yet, his true struggle lay within his own household—it became akin to a slaughterhouse for him. I must express this candidly—I have nothing to lose by doing so. The pressures Jonah faced were immense; even I cannot fathom them. One needs tranquility at home post-work. His revelations left me deeply aggrieved.” At these words, the widow interjected.

A lot of men choose to remain at their workplace for extended hours, not out of desire, but due to the unpleasantness they face each time they return home.
@EvansOdinga03:
Your brother is dealing with some family problems. Hukumsaidia. Sahizi asks what you should do or where you’re heading.
@Nicpiece:
I absolutely wouldn’t tolerate living with a poisonous partner for an extended period… so, what prevents individuals from leaving these kinds of marriages?
@VictorWereh:
That’s why I have five spouses and three mistresses.
Alex Francis:
The clash between the widow and her brother-in-law completely confirms that the man’s statement was accurate.
Jennifer Thande:
Widows face many challenges, and they have begun experiencing them much earlier than expected.
Mihindo Anko David:
Often, it can be challenging for family members to assist one another because they wish to show respect and allow space for personal problem-solving, which only exacerbates the situation.
@Souljahjnr7:
A bodyguard outside the house was hit by a cold war.

Where is the other part of bana? We need to hear the entire story.
