Published on September 9, 2019, a Kenyan woman has come forward with shocking allegations against blogger Dennis Itumbi, claiming he secretly served her an abortion concoction in 2018.
According to court documents filed by her lawyer Enricah Dulo, the woman says she began bleeding after Itumbi served her a drink at his house on October 26, 2018, after he had previously tried to convince her to abort the fetus.
She claims that Itumbi, who previously served as State House Director of Digital and Diaspora Communications, had invited her for a meeting where he again tried to convince her to abort, serving her a drink that immediately caused her to start bleeding.
The woman was taken to Jacaranda Maternity Hospital, where a physician asked if she was trying to abort the fetus, leading her to suspect that the drink Itumbi had served her was an abortion concoction.
Itumbi has been accused of neglecting the child since she was born and failing to provide any form of support, with the woman demanding Sh50,000 monthly subsistence allowance to cater for the minor's needs.
The matter will be heard on September 26th, 2019.
