A Kenyan woman, Patience Cherotich, has been arraigned before a Magistrate Court for allegedly setting the house of her former boyfriend on fire.
The 25-year-old lady was arrested after her Nigerian lover, Benjamin Obeten, reported her to the Kenyan authorities for destroying his property worth Sh120,000.
The incident involving the accused and the complainant, who were lovers reportedly occurred on August 10, 2023 atTRM Drive in Kasarani, Nairobi.
The charge read; “On the 10th day of August, 2023, at Veeland Apartments, you did willfully and unlawfully set fire to a structure used as a bedroom, valued at Sh120,000, belonging to Benjamin Obeten”.
It was gathered that after they broke up, Cherotich then begged Obeten to allow her to visit him at his home and he agreed.
But as soon as she arrived at his residence, she was said to have caused chaos while allegedly threatening Obeten’s life, prompting him to call for help from the apartment’s security guards, and the accused was forced out of the house.
He, however, took pity on Cherotich after she had spent hours in the cold, and allowed her back into the house to spend the night and return to her home in the morning.
