“Ndiye Huyu” See the Kiambu Man Arrested After a Viral Video Showed Him Assaulting His Wife’s Cousin

Images have surfaced of a married man who was apprehended for assaulting his wife’s cousin at their residence in Kiambu. The suspect, identified as Isaac, also known as Baba Wanja, was arrested following the viral spread of a video depicting the assault on social media.

In the footage, his wife, Muthoni Msoo, is seen recording the incident involving her cousin, Wambui. An investigation was launched shortly after the clip gained widespread attention.

As per a family source, Wambui had visited the couple to provide support during a challenging time for her cousin, who had requested companionship. The two women were engaged in supportive conversation, unaware that the husband was in the bedroom, seemingly eavesdropping.

He allegedly emerged and attacked Wambui, acting as if he had caught her inappropriately interacting, even though that was not the case. 

The video has sparked significant outrage among Kenyans online, with many questioning how a woman offering support to a relative could end up facing violence. Calls for decisive action from authorities have also proliferated.

Family sources claim the wife had been drinking heavily that day and suggest that her husband discourages her from socializing, preferring her to remain isolated. These allegations remain unverified, and the husband has not publicly commented.

The incident has been reported to Gatong’ora Police Station, where officers are gathering statements. Detectives are expected to review the video to determine potential charges against the suspect.

This event has reignited discussions on the issue of control in domestic relationships. Experts warn that attempts to isolate a spouse from friends and family can be indicative of more significant abuse.

Kenya’s Protection Against Domestic Violence Act of 2015 criminalizes domestic violence, and individuals requiring assistance can contact the national gender violence helpline, 1195.

Rights groups are urging victims and witnesses to report such incidents promptly and seek help from trusted family members, counselors, or law enforcement. Further updates will be provided as the police investigation unfolds.
