Anne Njeri, the ex-wife of Joseph Onywera, a man from Kisumu who won a 20 million jackpot, has threatened to take her own life if he refuses to forgive and accept her back as his wife.
In a statement to journalists at her Naivasha home, Njeri claimed the devil was responsible for her decision to leave her husband years ago.
Njeri stated that she still loves her husband and has never stopped loving him, despite their distance and miscommunication over the years.
Onywera, 62, who won the Ksh20 million Betway jackpot, said his wife left him in 2010 after he lost his job and took their son with her. He expressed that he is not willing to take her back as his wife but will provide support to their son.
Njeri said, "When I met my lovely husband years back, I knew he was the man for me. When I saw him, something inside me told me that this is my man and nothing can separate us if not death". She also added, "The love I had for my sweetheart is still strong and has never faded. I cannot imagine myself with another man except my Jose. We were born to be together and I will never let any woman take away my lovely husband because he has won Ksh20million".
Njeri further stated, "Those who are saying I ran away from my own Jose because he was poor are jealous. Joseph and I are meant to be together and everyone knows. If Joseph refuses to take me back, I will just die. I have never loved any other man the way I love my ‘husband".
