CCTV Footage of Pastor Njeru and Wanjiku Sparks Debate

The case involving Nakuru pastor Elias Mutugi Njeru and his estranged wife, Florence Wanjiku, has taken a dramatic turn following the release of CCTV footage capturing an altercation between the two outside an apartment building.

The footage has sparked intense online debate, with Pastor Njeru accused of attacking Wanjiku on the night of November 21, 2024. The alleged assault left Wanjiku with multiple stab wounds and the loss of several fingers. Speaking from her hospital bed, Wanjiku described the attack as unprovoked, arising from a prior domestic disagreement. Meanwhile, Njeru’s legal team has pledged full cooperation with the authorities as investigations continue.

The CCTV video has fueled mixed reactions among Kenyans, with some questioning the events leading up to the altercation and others identifying potential inconsistencies in the narrative.

Online Reactions

The footage has divided netizens, prompting a range of responses:

  • Solomon Kiplagat: “He went after her with a machete from his car. Watch carefully frame by frame.”
  • Linus The CX Guru: “What happened between 11:35 pm and 11:36 pm at Florence’s car? Why did Elias open his car boot, and what did he throw inside?”
  • KwaMog: “He returned to his car with blood-stained clothes! Where did that come from if he’s innocent?”

Others questioned Wanjiku’s actions in the video:

  • Edu: “CCTV has vindicated this man. Ignore the hugging with the watchman; she clearly initiated the attack.”
  • Oriku David: “We now see another side. Listening to her from the hospital alone wasn’t enough. Imagine your wife hugging the watchman intimately.”

Some commenters remained skeptical of both parties:

  • Joe: “Stabbing someone 18 times isn’t self-defense. He could have just driven off.”
  • Gran Cabral: “Women can manipulate psychologically, but men tend to react aggressively when provoked.”

Background to the Case

Njeru surrendered to Menengai Police Station accompanied by his lawyer after being on the run since the incident. He is accused of stabbing Wanjiku 18 times following a disagreement.

The altercation reportedly began after Njeru requested a meeting to discuss business matters related to their joint land and property company. After meeting at a Nakuru hotel, Wanjiku claimed the discussion escalated into violence, with Njeru allegedly following her home and attacking her with a knife.

Wanjiku, currently receiving treatment at Optimum Hospital in Nakuru City, has suffered severe injuries, including stab wounds to her head, back, and hands, as well as the loss of several fingers.

The couple, who share two children, previously ran a business together before their separation. The ongoing investigation continues to capture the attention of the public as both sides of the story unfold.
