Fathers day losses after a jilted husband destroys farm produce worth shs 500,000
Fathers day turned tragic in Kirinyaga when a jilted man went on rampage and destroyed farm produce worth shs 500,000.
The middle aged man from Kamagambo, Gichugu, was trying to prevent his wife from going to the market, instead stay at home with him to celebrate the day.
Business man David Muthike said that he was prepared to go to the market when he was called on Sunday morning being told that his bananas and avocados that were waiting to be taken to Kitui market had been destroyed.
Muthike went on to say that the market day in Kitui is normally on Sunday and that the man, went on rampage destroying their goods thinking that was his wife's who was supposed to go to the same market.
The man used a machete to slice the green bananas and sacks of avocados saying that his wife should have stayed at home because it was Father’s Day.
"I got a call from a neighbour that the bananas that we had packed on the roadside ready to be parked in a lorry has been destroyed, when I rushed there I found that most of our bananas and avocados," said Muthike.
"Mwanaume huyo alikuwa anataka bibi yake akae nyumbani ndio washerehekee siku ya Fathers Day,(The man who destroyed our farm produce wanted the wife to stay home since it was fathers day),” Muthike.
Hellen Kaari added that she had taken her goods along Kianyaga- Kiamutugu road ready for market.
The boda boda guy who witnessed the destruction informed her of the destruction saying she has lost produce worth sh15,000.
"I have lost farm produce worth sh 15,000,this is my way of survival,", said Kaari.
The farm produce that was destroyed belonged to six business people, who are yet to come to terms with the loss.
Kirinyaga East sub-county OCPD Anthony Mbogo said there is no report made on the matter.
"We do not have any complain from Kamagambo,we are still waiting for those whose farm produce was destroyed to report,"said Mbogo
