• Edwin Gathigi from Mukuruweini, Nyeri was freed after his wife confessed that he lied in court and was not guilty of any crime
• The community helped Edwin and now he is the proud owner of land at the age of only 20, which is very rare
• Edwin’s journey from wrongful conviction to land ownership inspired many who followed the story

Matuu, Kenya: At only 20 years old, Edwin Gathigi is the proud owner of the land, and this change comes after the young man was released from prison, where he was supposed to struggle for the rest of his life.

Gathigi was sentenced to life in prison about two years ago after her mother fought with her sister over a man, and her sister sent her to prison. His wife’s false testimony in court at that time was like a nail in the coffin of his freedom, and he was sent to King’ongo Prison.

In 2025, Gathigi was reunited with his grandmother, who testified against him when she visited him in Leprosy Prison, where she confirmed the evidence she gave in court.

At the time, he gave his reasons for testifying against him and said that he was doing so in hopes of getting him out of prison. His mother, who was also present, talked about the quarrel he had with his sister.

His grandmother has denied her testimony after saying that she was persuaded by her other daughter to involve the young man. When Edwin was released, he expressed happiness and said he planned to go back to school and pursue his dream of becoming a chef.

What does this move mean for Gathigi?

Gathigi was given a 50 by 100 piece of land in Ikatini by Fred Kahura, a land dealer. In the previous interview, it was revealed that the family in Mukuruweini allegedly did not want him to get a piece of the family’s land. So, this solves a very big problem for them.

Some people like it TikTok now they suggest that people who wish him well come together and build him a house as well.
