SlimPossible Finalist Responds To Allegations That He Smacked His Wife before Proposing To His New Girlfriend on Live TV
This morning the nation woke up to news that Levy Kones, the SlimPossible 4 finalist who went down on one knee to propose on Live TV to his girlfriend, Eunice Wangechi, faces arrest after an Eldoret court directed the same after he allegedly battered his ‘wife’.
Levy has since responded to the allegations and has threatened to sue Daily Nation and The Star for defamation. Here’s his rejoinder;
I write this post with a heavy heart…I have seen both the stories in the today’s DAILY NATION and The Star, Kenya newspaper. I’m also including Citizen TV Kenya and Slimpossible CitizenTV in this post for purposes of clarity. It is indeed true that to here was a warrant of arrest issued against me yesterday for assault on a Faustine Naibei on the 20th as alleged. Since both the Nation and the Star did not think it was prudent for them to check their facts here is my side and I would challenge them to try and practice some good journalism before they join forces with ex-girlfriends in destroying people’s lives.
1. I was in Eldoret the weekend of the 18th but travelled to Nairobi on 20th and it was the day I actually moved to Nbi and I have proof of that. And I did not at any point meet Faustine naibei on this day.

2. Faustine Naibei my accuser was a onetime girlfriend and has never at any point been my wife and a simple check into marriage documents in kenya will attest to this. We broke up in Dec last year and I have emails between us attesting to this and would be happy to furnish them with these. And kindly please if you ever attended such a wedding; please tell me when and where.
3. I was on slimpossible for a whole 16 weeks where in almost every episode the host Lillian Muli Kanene, would call me a bachelor and this wife never showed up anywhere, heck I even had a trip to Boma Inn Eldoret, and this wife was in Eldoret and never knew???
4. I filed a case against Faustine Naibei on the 17th of Oct in Central police station Eld in which I cited that I had come into information that she had obtained a loan from Kenya Women Finance Trust fraudulently using the copy of My ID and My mum’s as guarantors….the case is since being handled by the CID in Eldoret and her case against me for assault came after this one.
5. I have in my possesion, copies Faustine Naibei’s identification documents and even in her ID’s her fraud is glaring…she is Faustine Kipkech Naibei Id no 12834821 with DOB of Aug 16th 1974 and in her passport she is Faustine Emmah Cheptoek Naibei DOB 15th Aug 1976, both which I had come across and were key in the ending of our relationship. And just so you Know…Emmah Cheptoek is her younger sister and this woman used her Form four certificate to get a Visa to study in the US I had tried not to expose her but I feel at this juncture I must protect my name and that of my Fiancee.

6. Which Idiot would get on National TV and propose to a woman knowing fully well he was married?
7. I had been informed that her case was coming up for mention today, and I am in Eldoret as I write this because I arrived last night only to discover it had been taken to court yesterday and a warrant issued….It is my view that this was calculated so that this matter could be in the news…good move by the way. It is my intention to pursue legal action against both the Daily Nation and The star newspaper for defamation, and embarrassment to me and I would urge them to act with professionalism before they use their powers to besmirch people’s names. I would also like to apologize to my fiancée and my soon to be in laws for the pain and heartache this is causing them.
Lies always have a head-start, but the truth will always catch up.
