NAIROBI, Kenya Apr 3 – In the tranquil village of Kipsapta, nestled amidst the lush landscapes of Kuresoi North, Nakuru County, a shocking tale of love, betrayal, and tradition has unfolded, leaving the community reeling in disbelief.
In a move deemed as unprecedented and un-African, two men, Robert Kiruo and his unnamed counterpart, made a decision that defied societal norms and sparked outrage among elders and locals alike: they exchanged wives to cure infidelity.
According to Citizen Digital, the genesis of this extraordinary saga stemmed from the heartbreak of Robert Kiruo, who found himself abandoned by his wife, leaving behind their two young daughters.
