July 29, 2023 started like any other day for Mr Henry Ng’ang’a Maina. But unknown to the videographer, one phone call would change would sudden jolt his tranquility.

The female call, who identified herself as Ms Margaret Wangui Kibathi, asked for his services at a birthday party that she said would be taking place within Landless area in Thika, Kiambu County.

“After I arrived in Jomoko area, she told me that I should go to a building known as Classic located within Ngoingwa, where the host family resides. When I arrived there she was the one who ushered me and I also noticed that she was not a stranger to me,” Mr Maina narrated in an exclusive interview with Nairobi News.

Once they entered the house, the so-called Ms Wangui was in the company of another woman who was busy in the kitchen making tea but didn’t introduced herself.

Ms Wangui requested the videographer to wait for her husband to arrive before they could proceed to where the birthday party would take place.

“I was served tea and after I took two sips I started feeling weak. My joints also became very weak. I cannot tell how I fell asleep,” Mr Maina recounted.
