Where is Junior's Baken?
Baken was spotted barely a week after his former castmate Junior, real name Easron Abraham Asmlash, also emerged online.
A TikToker shared a video of Baken, who appeared different from a past video where he was seen being roughed up.
Baken seems to have reformed after he was caught allegedly stealing in 2023.
Kenyans beat up the actor, and he appeared bloodied in the 2023 video.
He was handcuffed as he confessed to stealing phones, a motorbike and money worth KSh 124,000.
It was alleged that he withdrew the money from one of the phones he stole.
He was accosted and frog-marched to Jogoo Police Station.
Kenyans have been urging Junior, who stays in the US, to find Baken and reconnect with him.
The disparity between the two actors is evident.

Being a child actor is not easy. Kenyans have expectations, having watched you grow up on TV, unaware of the negative effects of fame at a young age.
Toti, another ex-Junior actor, asked Kenyans not to speak ill about Baken during one of her livestreams with Junior.
Meanwhile, Junior seems to be living life to the fullest, and the US seems to be treating our boy well.
Netizens react to Baken's return

Why did Junior's parents send him to the US?
In other news, Junior revealed that his parents sent him to the US after he started associating with the wrong crowd.
He had released a Gengetone song, and his mum feared that if she left him in Kenya, he would end up with the wrong friend group.
Junior revealed that his mum left for the US immediately after he was born, and he had been left in Kenya with his father.
He also dispelled death rumours with his re-emergence.
