;Back in 2019 Mike Sonko headlines following his dramatic arrest back in Voi; where he was roughed up by several police officers. The Nairobi governor was arrested and charged with money laundering; among other crimes which linked him to a multimillion dollar corruption scandal.
His arrest was however scandalous as he police officers roughed him up without a care in the world! A few months down the line and one of the officers who embarrassed him during the arrest has found himself in trouble with his baby mama.
As seen on a viral video shared on social media, the officer identified as retired Voi Base Commander Michael Mureithi was accused of neglecting his responsibilities by the mother of his child.
In the video, the baby mama is seen putting up a whole show why she publicly revealed how Mr Mureithi has refused to pay Ksh 300,000 for his child’s upkeep!
Sonko steps in
Having come across the video, Mike Sonko happened to recognize the officer and being a generous person; Sonko went to his facebook page where he wrote a detailed post promising to help Mr Mureithi with the money. He went on to write saying;
The Voi Base Commander who handcuffed me becomes a deadbeat dad. I do not support domestic violence. I condemn the use of violence in any relationship but pole sana my friend Mr. Mureithi the recently retired Voi Base commander who forcefully handcuffed me with two pairs of handcuffs just to board a police chopper during my arrest at Voi.
Since the officer is now retired, Sonko urged him to accept the responsibility of being a father not forgetting to add that he would help him pay the child support. He went on to add;
My humble advice to you, if the baby the woman is alleging is really yours kindly accept the responsibility it’s just normal part of life and since you are now retired, I’m willing to pay for you the 300,000/= upkeep the woman has been awarded by the children’s court.
As usual his posts never come without some petty shade; and this time around he was willing to help yet another cop who manhandled him during the arrest. He went on to conclude saying;
I have also been made to understand that one of your colleagues who also manhandled me has a kidney problem I’m as well willing to help in meeting his medical expenses.
