Elias Njeru, the businessman accused of attacking his lover Florence Wanjiku, has opened up about his personal life, revealing he has been married to his wife, Wairimu, for 12 years. In an interview with Metha ya Kagoni, Njeru shared that he met Wairimu during their teenage years in the village. Their relationship grew stronger as they both attended Kenyatta University and began living together. Over the years, they have built a family with three children.
Njeru also revealed he met Florence Wanjiku through business dealings, and their relationship led to the birth of a child. However, he admitted to keeping his second family a secret from Wairimu for nearly two years, focusing on raising his child with Florence while trying to be a present father. His situation changed when Florence contacted Wairimu four months ago to reveal their affair, which led Njeru to come clean about everything.
Njeru described the emotional moment when he returned home to find Wairimu in tears. She had learned of the affair after Florence got her number from one of Njeru’s friends. Upon seeing her distress, Njeru admitted the truth, acknowledging his betrayal. He emphasized that the affair was not due to issues in his marriage with Wairimu but was a personal mistake.He shared, “Florence called Wairimu after getting the number from my friend. When I came home, I found her crying. She showed me the number, and I admitted everything. She was very disappointed,”
In his interview, Njeru expressed regret for the pain caused and apologized to Wairimu, stating he is committed to rebuilding their marriage. He praised Wairimu for her strength and support during this challenging time, reaffirming his dedication to making amends and restoring trust in their relationship.
