What were Albert Ojwang's last words to his wife?

On Wednesday, July 2, during Ojwang's memorial mass at the Ridgeways Baptist Church, Nevnina Onyango shared a moving tribute, leaving mourners sobbing uncontrollably.

The mother of one narrated how she met Ojwang in 2021 in Kisumu.

She disclosed that they met through a mutual friend from Pwani University, and Ojwang' asked for her number. What started as a casual conversation blossomed into something special.

Nevnina recalled the details of their last conversation, just after Ojwang' had been taken to the Central Police Station.

She revealed he told her how much he loved her, asking her to be strong for their son, and they would see each other soon. Unfortunately, Ojwang' never made it to tell his wife and son goodbye.

She described Ojwang' as her best friend and an amazing person in her life, vowing to take care of their son.

The blogger met his untimely death two months after formalising his union with the mother of his son.
