Kenya’s high-flying couple-turned-enemies, Sarah “Mtalii” Njoki and Simon Kabu of Bonfire Adventures, are back in the headlines but this time, the bombshell allegations could shake even the most scandal-hardened Kenyans.
In a court affidavit that reads like a twisted Nollywood script, Sarah accuses her estranged husband of being entangled in a full-blown romantic relationship with a woman he has publicly identified as his own daughter Maureen Wambui Kabu.
In urgent court filings seen by Kenya Insights, Sarah is now seeking to enjoin Maureen as a co-respondent in her ongoing divorce case, claiming that Maureen, who is allegedly Kabu’s biological daughter from a previous relationship, is living with Kabu “as his wife” in their former matrimonial home — and has even inherited their once joint property.
“I was never introduced to Maureen throughout our 15 years of marriage,” Sarah writes in her sworn affidavit, revealing she only discovered her existence in April 2022 when the young woman “eloped” with Kabu to Amboseli where they apparently enjoyed a private getaway, complete with Sarah’s own children in tow.
The most jaw-dropping detail?
Sarah insists there has never been a DNA test to confirm Maureen is truly Kabu’s daughter, and even if she is, “the conduct and relationship bear all the hallmarks of an incestuous union.”
From the outside, Kabu and Maureen have not been discreet.
The documents include screenshots of Facebook posts where the two are allegedly seen “exhibiting cosyness akin to a husband and wife,” and photos from what Sarah calls “romantic retreats,” with Maureen now “fully occupying” the couple’s upmarket Edenville Phase 1 home, which Sarah says she was forced to vacate.
But it doesn’t end there.
The affidavit also reveals what appears to be a paper trail of suspicious financial dealings.
Kabu, Sarah claims, has already transferred several matrimonial vehicles from Bonfire Adventures to a little-known company called Adequate Safaris Limited where Maureen is listed as a sole director.
In fact, CR12 documents (attached to the suit) show Maureen now controls this entity, raising red flags about possible asset shielding and strategic dissipation of wealth.
“It’s a carefully choreographed scheme to disinherit me,” Sarah alleges, accusing Kabu of orchestrating a transfer of property and corporate control to Maureen in a bid to lock her out of their vast empire.
And while Maureen might be benefitting financially, Sarah accuses her of actively contributing to the breakdown of the marriage through “emotional abuse, humiliation, and persistent cruelty.”
If these court claims hold any water, Kenya may be staring at one of the most scandalous domestic dramas in recent memory; a cocktail of adultery, incest, betrayal, asset stripping, and raw emotional devastation.
As for Kabu, the man once admired for building an empire of romantic getaways for other couples, he now finds himself at the center of a tabloid nightmare that could torpedo his brand and tarnish his image forever.
Sarah says the court must act urgently to stop the madness but with tongues wagging across the country and memes flooding TikTok, one thing is clear: this isn’t just a divorce.
It’s a full-blown Bonfire of Allegations.
