What happened yesterday happened, and we managed to raise over KSh 1 million in Joyce’s phone, and here we have KSh 500,00, and we withdrew some. Kwa M-Shweari we have KSh 247,140, which we will also withdraw," he said.
Did Kenyans reverse money they sent Kitengela woman?
The comedian revealed that some Kenyans reversed their money after learning that Joyce's case was not genuine.
"There are people who reversed, and that’s okay. So this money, let’s talk there in the comments. There are so many needy cases and we can use this money to help them. This money will go to Kenyans who are in dire need. There are families that don’t even have food," he said.
He disclosed that the lady had apologised and handed over the money. Eric had also discovered that she was not the mastermind behind the scheme to defraud Kenyans.

The comedian advised her to find work and support her ailing child.
"So this woman it’s true she has challenges but the manner in which she tried to get money was not right. So she has apologised and handed over the entire amount I don’t want her to sleep in a cell, but for the sake of this boy, I don’t want her to continue sleeping here. I will advise her and let her go. She should find work to support her child," he said.
Eric revealed that the people behind the scheme were still in police custody, and he was still pursuing the case.
"There are people who planned this they are already sleeping inside. Others are outside, we will not leave them. We have done our investigations and found out that they always do this. They took this woman, and they also have a YouTube. They made it private. They always find vulnerable people and scam Kenyans online. We will come for you. This woman was out in that situation because of this child. We will let her go with a warning," he added.
