The late Ojwang’ family recently honored his memory by fulfilling his promise to pay dowry to his widow in a fascinating traditional “nyombo” ceremony.

What does Albert Ojwang’s widow look like?
Nevnina expressed her deep gratitude on social media, describing the incident as proof that love does not end in death and thanking her in-laws for the good deed.
The ceremony brought comfort to the family and community, who were seeking justice following an autopsy that revealed the teacher died of severe head injuries.
In a video that went viral, netizens noted how radiant and beautiful Nevnina looked since the last time she was seen in public.
She looked very attractive wearing an attractive dress that was a mix of modern designs and traditional African motifs, giving a modern Afro-chic look.
The top of the dress featured a custom-made corset, in black with a satin finish. The combination of the tight top and the wrap skirt created a traditional hourglass shape that looked elegant and modern at the same time.
