What did the internet say about the incident?
Some comments from netizens:
Gilbert Wright: “That is, other men show themselves well outside, you are paid taxes in this Kanairo, you are bought in this Range in Kanairo, and we also prepare a line town for you to return to Juja in the evening, in the morning as well, you are paid school fees. Indeed, the best thing I can do is for a person like me to avoid now, just get saved as a man, because now what else will you do as a man? Bro, simple advice: just get saved, obey God, and you will enjoy every comfort from Sonko, and also God.”
Dènøh Flàvòur: “As a man, if you can’t pay the bills, you can’t roar… and if you try, you’ll suffer. My fellow men, let’s work hard.”
Clarice Wanjiku: “A person is paid for the house, the children’s school fees are paid, household items are bought, and then you beat their child? That is a strange situation, even if it is a wife.”
Julie Syombua: “That is, they are fed by the father, and then someone has the courage to hit him… that is harmful. Women, let’s not be desperate in the name of love.”
Rösê Flòwèr: “Sonko warned the family that if he catches his daughter again, he will do that thing to her. If someone tells you that he will do that thing to you, you better run… run for your life. I want to say that Sonko is a good person… let me give you a baby, then I will give you a warning… first I would deal with you, warning later.”
