Fresh details on Ruth Matete’s late husband emerge

Ever since Ruth Matete’s husband demise, a lot of controversy has surrounded the incident.

It now arises that the late Pastor Belovedjohn did not want his family back in Nigeria, to be informed about his burn injury.

Ruth Matete’s lawyer, Robert Odanga told the Sunday Nation that the deceased had requested his gas explosion accident remain a secret, to avoid ‘worrying’ his family.

He requested her not to tell his family what happened because he did not want them to get worried.

Mr Odanga however stated that the Nigerian pastor was in communication with his family, having talked to his brother, within the first week since the incident.

Belovedjohn assured his family he would recover and all would be well, just before things got worse.

In his first week in hospital, he video called his brother to assure the family that he was on the road to recovery. That was before his wounds became septic and his kidney’s started failing.

His unstable condition saw him breathe his last on Saturday, the 11th of April.

According to the lawyer, Belovedjohn’s family was informed on his passing on.

They were aptly informed when he died.

Matete’s lawyer divulged that his client had informed her hubby’s family that he was being treated for appendicitis.

Further revealing that the Pastor’s family breathed fire for being misinformed about his condition, but they eventually understood.

Vincent Korir, the Athi River DCI chief, said no charges will be filed against the singer, until postmortem results are out.

Nigerian Embassy

Meanwhile, Nigerian High Commission in Nairobi stopped any postmortem tests from being conducted on him, after allegations that the singer was a suspect in his death.

The Nigerian embassy had last week held Apewajoye’s remains at the Kenyatta National Hospital morgue.

However, Nigerian High Commissioner, Mahmoud Lawal told the Nation that they will no longer present an independent pathologist for the postmortem exam.

The embassy said it will instead rely on information presented to them by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI).

A postmortem scheduled for today, with the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority to make a report so as to determine any foul play.
