‘Wife’ Vanishes Into Thin Air After ‘Cleaning’ Man’s Bank Account, House Clean And Infecting Him With HIV.
In August this year, 26 year old Eric Kanyara Mwiti from
Kathangacini Village in Tharaka Nithi County met this beautiful girl at
Witeithie Estate in Juja Sub-County of Kiambu County and after a few days
started cohabitation
as husband and wife. Narrating his sad and chilling experience, Mwiti who is a
construction casual labourer in Thika and Juja, said that he almost fell in
love with this lady as she was so caring to a point that he threw caution the winds and went to live with
her in his rented one-roomed house. He admits to even not knowing her real names
and particulars.
Initially, everything went on well to this ‘newlyweds’ and Mwiti
had nothing to suspect the love of his life.
Late August, when he was working in Thika, his ‘wife’ called
to inform him that she had fallen sick and wanted to go to hospital.
“Since I did not have any money in my M-PESA account, I
instructed her to get my ATM and go and withdraw sh. 2000 which she did,”
recalls Mwiti.
He later passed through his bank and indeed ascertained that
his ‘wife’ had withdrawn sh. 2,000.
On September 20th, he visited his rural home to
attend an urgent matter that made him stay there for three days, only for him
to return to his Witeithie home for a rude shock.
“I almost collapsed when I found my ‘wife’ missing with my
house emptied, save for my clothes,” recollected Mwiti tearfully.
Sensing danger, he rushed to check on his ATM card but true
to his thoughts, it was not there.
“I rushed to my bank (Coop Bank - Thika) only to find that
all my hard-earned savings amounting to sh. 150,000 had been withdrawn. When I
tried to call my lover, her line was dead,” he lamented.
His frantic efforts to trace the lady through assistance
from friend turned nugatory. On September 24th, he reported the
theft at the Juja Police Station (OB 28/19/2016).
Mwiti is currently unable to raise money to pay for rent or continue
with his studies with his plant operator's course at a Thika based driving
school. He has an outstanding fee arrears of sh. 50,000 after initially paying a
deposit of sh. 30,000. Worse still, he recently realised that his lover has
already infected him with HIV/AIDs.
“Since all my cash is gone and am now HIV positive, my
priority is to complete my course so that I can become self-reliant and carry
on with life. I am appealing to well-wishers to come to my aid through my cell
no. 0795 699 434,” said Mwiti.
Confirming the incident, Juja OCS Zachariah Ateya said that they had launched investigation into the matter.
“We are doing all our best to arrest and bring to book the
suspect who is still at large,” the OCS said.
He advised men especially youth not to get into quick
relationships with strangers.
