House bombing

Boniface Mwangi in October reported that his house had been targeted by attackers who threw explosives, demolition parts of the building that were under construction.

Mwangi shared video clips of the debris and added that his workers stationed at the construction site were robbed of their valuables during the violent incident.

An emotional Mwangi decried the destruction of his dream house conveying that he and his family had made numerous sacrifices to start the project.

He also claimed that the attack on his property was instigated by a prominent politician in the country.

Mwangi specifically pointed an accusing finger on Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua, under whose jurisdiction the property is located.

The incident, along with Mwangi's statements on the matter have sparked heated debates online with some members of the public blaming the activist for associating with celebrity couple Juliani and Lillian Ng'ang'a.
