Moi University’s first-year student, Agnes Wangari, found herself in an Eldoret Court, facing charges of damaging property and alleged sexual assault against her estranged boyfriend, Mohammed Ali.

During the proceedings presided over by Principal Magistrate Kesse Cherono, Wangari refuted the allegations.

The specific charge detailed Wangari’s purported actions on March 3, 2024, at Kesses trading center in Uasin Gishu County, where she allegedly damaged Ali’s television set valued at sh 45,000. The courtroom atmosphere turned tense as Ali, reliant on online work for income, recounted their turbulent past relationship.

Ali disclosed to the court the events leading up to the incident, highlighting Wangari’s unexpected visit to his rental house, adjacent to the main campus. Allegedly, she claimed to be pregnant with his child, a statement Ali vehemently denied. When confronted, Wangari purportedly became enraged and proceeded to vandalize Ali’s property, including the sh 45,000 television set.

Ali expressed his willingness to settle for sh 40,000 in compensation, citing forgiveness for Wangari’s actions, which he claimed included divulging intimate details to neighbors, false familial claims, and instances of sexual assault. Additionally, he alleged infidelity on Wangari’s part, leading to frequent confrontations.

In her defense, Wangari recounted a different version of events, asserting that Ali had been physically abusive in the past. She claimed that the altercation stemmed from a disagreement about pregnancy in front of her two friends, who allegedly witnessed previous instances of abuse inflicted by Ali.

Wangari, a student with limited financial means, appealed to the court’s understanding regarding the compensation demanded by Ali. The Magistrate, considering the complexities of the case, granted Wangari bail at sh 20,000, scheduling the next hearing for May 23rd to further deliberate on the matter.
