In a surprising turn of events, businesswoman Anerlisa Muigai has found herself thrust into the limelight following a leaked WhatsApp exchange where she sought financial assistance to cover her fiancé’s bail amidst a legal tussle involving his company, SBL Limited.
The saga began with allegations against Muigai’s partner, Josiah ‘Joe’ Kariuki, who serves as the CEO of Silica Booster Limited (SBL), over the alleged distribution of fake fertilizer.
Kariuki faced multiple charges, including conspiracy to defraud and forgery, prompting a legal battle that necessitated bail, set at an unexpectedly high amount.
Anerlisa’s lover sold fake fertilizers to Kenyans amounting to Ksh209 million.
Court granted Kariuki a Ksh2 million cash bail or a bond of Ksh5 million. He was further asked to deposit his passport in court.
In a bid to raise the required funds for her fiancé, Anerlisa Muigai reached out to close contacts in a private WhatsApp group.
However, the confidential conversation was leaked and shared publicly by blogger Cyprian Nyakundi, leaving Muigai feeling betrayed by the breach of trust.
Expressing her disappointment on Instagram, Muigai reflected on the challenges of navigating personal crises under the scrutiny of the public eye.
Her post underscored the importance of discerning true friendships during challenging times.
“Fake friends are like shadows: always near you at your brightest moments but nowhere to be seen at your darkest hour. True friends are like stars, you don’t always see them but they are always there,” Anerlisa shared a quote.
She accompanied the quote with her own words, reading; “When you thought you had real friends then boom, a blogger sends you a screenshot from a very enclosed group. Tomorrow could be you.
“At least I know I cannot count on everyone and that’s okay. And yes we managed to get out without your help. We good. #GodFirst,” Anerlisa Muigai posted.
Anerlisa was thought to be dating Melvin Ibrahim but it turns out that their relationship ended and she quickly moved on with Joe Kariuki.
