Monday, April 20, 2026 - A Kikuyu woman took to her X account and raised an alarm, claiming that she had been locked inside her home without food by her husband.
The woman, identified as Nyambura, accused her husband of
confining her and denying her access to basic needs.
The allegations quickly gained traction online, drawing
sympathy and concern from users.
However, in a follow-up thread, a friend of the couple later
shared a different account of events after a video call with the husband,
saying the situation appeared to contradict the initial claims.
According to her update, the husband appeared sober during
the call, while Nyambura had passed out on a couch and was visibly intoxicated.
She further claimed that there were signs she had been
drinking, and that the husband had locked her inside the house to prevent her
from accessing alcohol from a local outlet.
The husband is also quoted in the thread expressing concern
over the wellbeing of their three-month-old baby.
He claimed that the mother stopped breastfeeding early due
to alcohol use.
Local authorities, including police and the area chief, are
reportedly aware of the troubled marriage.
