Nelson Ibrahim Kidero, alias Nelson Muriithi, a man who admitted breaking into Bunge Towers thrice unlawfully looking for his 13 wives, has now denied accessing the August House.
Appearing before Milimani Principal Magistrate Ben Mark Ekhubi on Tuesday, September 30, 2025, Kidero pleaded not guilty to the charge of accessing the National Assembly unlawfully.
According to the charge sheet, Kidero was arrested after he was found at the Bunge Towers parking area on August 7, 2025, at 9:30 pm.
“On August 7, 2025, at around 2130 hours in Nairobi, within Nairobi County, you were found at the parking area of the Bunge Towers without lawful authority,” part of the charge read.
After pleading not guilty, he then informed the court that he did not access Bunge Towers but the State House.
This prompted Magistrate Ekhubi to ask him if he knew where the Bunge Towers and State House are.
In his response, he stated that Bunge Towers is around town, but the State House is not close to the Bunge Towers.
“You told us you went there,” Magistrate Ekhubi asked Kidero.
“It was not the Bunge Towers; it was State House,” Kidero told the court.
“State House is not yet close to the Bunge Towers, but the Bunge Towers and the Harambee House and the CBK pension towers are closely attached,” Kidero added.
“State House is not yet close to the Bunge Towers, but the Bunge Towers and the Harambee House and the CBK pension towers are closely attached,” Kidero told the court.
Court shocked
On September 25, 2025, Kidero shocked the court when he claimed to be President William Ruto’s son.
He also informed the court that he and his mother helped Ruto to get to his current position, adding that he thinks there is a mistake going on in the August house.
“My mother is called Angeline Muriithi, so actually, there was a mistake. Mr William Samoie Ruto is my father; I helped him to become the president, and my mother is Angeline Muriithi, and he is supposed to be my father, so I think there is a mistake going on in the parliament,” Kidero stated in court.
Notably, Kidero told the court that he has no issue with anyone, and if at all he has wronged anyone in the country, he seeks forgiveness.
“I do not have any problem with anyone; in fact, if I have wronged anyone in the country, I apologise,” Kidero told the court.
On August 8, 2025, Kidero pleaded with the court to forgive him for his actions.
“I want to ask for forgiveness; I’m very sorry for ‘kuingia kwa bunge sikutaka kuingia bunge na njia mbaya’, so I am sorry,” Kidero told the court.
Magistrate Ekhubi then asked him what he had gone to do at Bunge Towers, and in his reply, he said that he was looking for his wives at the August House.
Further, the respondent (Kidero) told the court three of the said wives’ names, adding that the remaining 10 were in court, sending the court into a burst of laughter.
“Nilikua nimeenda kutafuta mabibi zangu. I have 13 wives, and one is called Wambui, Amber Ray, or Miss Njagi, and the others wanajijua wako hapa ndani,” Kidero told the court.
Kidero added that it is not a must for him to tell the court the names of the other 10 wives.
Despite the court papers showing that Kidero accessed Bunge Towers twice, he told the court that he had accessed the place three times.
Notably, as Magistrate Ekhubi was issuing directions to the DPP, Kidero interrupted, telling him, “Actually, you are very handsome,” sending the court attendees into loud laughter.
On August 8, 2025, Kidero told the court that he accessed the Bunge Towers looking for his 13 wives.
