Fabricated story

The cooked story, had suspicious quotes, purporting to be emanating from Ms Hassan.

“I want to reveal my love for the handsome Nairobi governor Mike Sonko. He is the man I have secretly admired for a long time. I love this handsome governor because he is a man of impeccable character and passionate convictions. He is not as boyish as the other kid who has been chasing me around, If you see Mike, please pass a word to him and tell him someone cares about him. I love this man because despite being powerful, he shares traits with my late beloved husband Ivan who loved to help the poor,” reads the fake quote.

Refuted the claims

However, the mother of five has countered the fake rumors stating that she had never even met Sonko.

“This nonsense from this man should stop. No I have no crush on you. I don’t know you never met you or anything. Please let me be. Plus you are not my type governor. Thank you” wrote Zari Hassan

Cross-check

A cross-check on Jacaranda FM Instagram page, indicates that Zari Hassan has not been interviewed by station in the recent past as they always update their followers with names of guests gracing their studios.

Just the other day, Sonko noted that he had been accused of being in a relationship with Rev Lucy Natasha and Ugandan socialite Zari Hassan.

Haki ya Mungu Wanasiasa tuko na shida mara @revlucynatasha mara @zarithebosslady,” he wrote.
