Margaret Wanjiru's life has never been easy. She had a tough childhood that forced her to drop out of school. Without education, finding a good job was hard. She met her first boyfriend, who seemed like a regular bus conductor, but was actually a gangster. He introduced her to a dangerous world.
Wanjiru got pregnant by her boyfriend, and he told her she couldn't stay at home doing nothing. He introduced her to making and selling bhang (marijuana). He taught her how to roll the bhang and sell it to a woman who would distribute it further.
Wanjiru felt trapped. Her boyfriend once threatened her with a gun and a knife, asking her to choose how she wanted to die when she refused to be intimate with him.
She shared her troubles with the woman she was selling bhang to. This woman gave her money to escape. Wanjiru ran away and eventually met a police officer. She thought her life would get better. The officer knew about her illegal business but didn’t arrest her initially.
He even helped her make more money from selling bhang. At first, everything seemed fine. Wanjiru was making good money and even hired someone to help her with the business. She felt safe because she had a police officer by her side. However, things took a turn for the worse.
Wanjiru later discovered that the police officer was already married. He used the money she earned from selling bhang to open a cosmetics shop for his wife. Wanjiru felt hurt and betrayed. The officer’s friend had warned her about him, but she thought the friend was just jealous.
One day, the police came to Wanjiru’s house and arrested her. They knew exactly where she was hiding the bhang. She realized that her husband had set her up.
Despite pleading her case, she was only released on a cash bail of KSh 80,000. The officer's friend, who had warned her, admitted he had also received money from the officer to keep quiet.
After her release, Wanjiru went to the cosmetics shop her husband had opened. Seeing it with her own eyes confirmed the betrayal. She bought a few items and left, feeling a deep sense of pain and loss. Pregnant with her third child, she decided to leave the officer.
Wanjiru’s story is a painful reminder of how betrayal can come from those we trust the most. She was left to fend for herself and her children. Despite everything, Wanjiru remains a survivor. Her experiences have made her stronger, but the scars of betrayal and heartbreak remain.
In another part of Kenya, a police officer from Nakuru faced his own tragic end. This officer lived with his two daughters and often told them he felt his life was coming to an end.
He became extremely stressed after his two wives cut ties with him. His elder daughter, aged 16, found his body in an incomplete building. This tragic story shows that even those who seem strong and in control can be struggling deeply.
Betrayal from loved ones can leave lasting emotional wounds. It's also clear that people in positions of power, like police officers, can misuse their authority and trust.
