Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko has rescued and taken in a nine-month pregnant woman who had been left homeless and abandoned in the streets of Nairobi.
According to Sonko, the woman was chased away from her cousin’s home at a critical stage of her pregnancy.
He added that the situation worsened after the man responsible for the pregnancy allegedly distanced himself, accusing her of disloyalty during their relationship.
“On Sunday, I rescued a woman who is nine months pregnant after she was abandoned and left homeless at the most critical stage of her pregnancy. She had been chased away from her cousin’s house, while the man responsible for the pregnancy had distanced himself, claiming she was not loyal during their relationship,” Sonko said.
