On December 22, 2019, a scandalous revelation shook the media and social circles in Kenya. Radio presenter Phelix Oduor, alias Jalang'o, was exposed for cheating on his newlywed Taita wife.
Edgar Obare, a popular Instagram account, led the investigation after receiving a tip from a 'Jalango' parody account. The tip alleged that Jalang'o was having an affair with Immaculate Karanja.
Obare's investigation connected a series of posts by Jalang'o and Immaculate, including a selfie of the two in a sun-roofed car. Jalang'o had cleverly hidden Immaculate's face in a separate post, but she later uploaded a photo of the two together, captioning it 'the things we do though.'
The scandal sparked a heated debate on social media, with many Kenyans expressing their shock and disappointment at Jalang'o's actions. The incident also raised questions about the presenter's character and the consequences of his actions on his marriage.
