Slain socialite Wahu Starlet was hurriedly buried at 8:00 am on Saturday with only 20 people in attendance.
Pastor Victor Kanyari explained why his sister was quickly buried on Saturday, January 6, 2024 in Kamulu within Ruiru – just three days after she was brutally murdered.
Speaking at his church, Kanyari said that after losing his sister Wahu, there was nothing else to do but lay her to rest.
The controversial preacher revealed that he was the one who convinced his family to quickly bury Wahu because he didn’t want to deal with the pressure from the media.
“Wakati dada yangu alikufa hakukua na jambo ingine la kufanya ila kumzika. Na mimi nikaambia familia tumzike haraka kwa sababu sitaki hawa watu wa media wanisumbue. Watu walikua wanasema Kanyari, Sister ya Kanyari, niliona watanisumbua,” he said.
Pastor Kanyari added that the burial was private and only attended by close relatives. He said in total only 20 people attended Wahu’s sendoff.
“Niliambia mama yangu maana amekufa na hatafufuka, tumzike. Alikufa Thursday saa kumi, Friday tukatayarisha kila kitu na Saturday saa mbili tukamzika tukiwa watu 20. Hiyo mazishi ikaisha maana hatukutaka aibu na hata hatukutaka mchango,” Kanyari said.
The evangelist said that he reversed all the contributions that had been sent to him for Starlet’s send-off.
“Hata na wale walikua wananitumia mchango nilikua nareverse. Nilisema mimi sitaki kuchangiwa juu ya mazishi ya sister yangu nikatoa pesa yote na kusimamia kila kitu,” he said.
