“It has not been easy. It has been very scary because after that thing went viral we started receiving threats, even her brother was attacked, and they were demanding money. This was after they saw people interviewing us and they thought they left us money so they say eeh lazima mtutolee za macho," Christine Ambuso told Citizen TV.
Due to the recent turn of events, Amani can no longer go to school alone as they fear for her safety. “Since that time, we have been accompanying Amani to school and ensuring that the teacher brings her back home. Her siblings have also been forced to stay indoors when not in school,” She disclosed.
