Nyeri - Lucy Njambi has opened up about the abuse she endured from her estranged husband, a man she married hoping for a happily ever after.

The lastborn in a family of 11 siblings got married to the man despite knowing he had divorced his first wife.
How many kids does Njambi have?
In a candid interview with TUKO.co.ke's King’ori Wangeci, the mother of four revealed that for the first three years, the marriage appeared happy.
However, cracks began to show as the man became increasingly abusive, a change she initially attributed to alcohol and held onto hope that he would reform.
“I kept it to myself because I was ashamed to tell my parents that my marriage was not working,” she said.
Tensions escalated when Njambi questioned the disappearance of KSh 100,000 they had invested in a shop.
Njambi's husband threatened to kill her
Soon after, she received a chilling text message from her husband threatening to kill her for failing to answer his calls.
When she reported the matter to the police, he allegedly bribed his way out, later using the incident to intimidate her further and boasting that he was untouchable.
In June 2024, Njambi finally mastered the courage and walked out of the house, renting another house elsewhere.
Not long after, the father of her children started visiting her uninvited, demanding that she return to his house.

Fateful day Njambi was attacked
One day, while plucking tea for her client, the man waylaid and viciously attacked her with a machete.
“He cut me on both hands and one of my shoulders, after which I lost consciousness and didn’t hear most of what happened after,” she recalled.
For three weeks, Njambi stayed at Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH), going through her painful recovery process while regretting the choice of man she gave her children.
Njambi is now back at her parents’ house, where she depends on her family for basic chores like drinking and eating.
What bothers her the most is that her attacker is in hiding and has never been arrested, which makes her worried for her safety.
Kisumu man flees after attacking ex-girlfriend
In Kisumu, Sebi Obonyo is on the run after he allegedly attacked his ex-girlfriend while at her new boyfriend’s home.
Details indicate that a violent altercation ensued, after which Obonyo stabbed the young woman multiple times with a knife.
According to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, it was the victim’s screams that alerted neighbours, prompting them to rush to her aid.
The investigative unit further said efforts are underway to apprehend the suspect and ensure he faces justice.
