On April 14, 2020, a video surfaced claiming that Ruth Matete, a Kenyan gospel artist, could have had a hand in the death of her Nigerian husband, BelovedJohn Abelawoye.
BelovedJohn died on Saturday following a gas accident in their home two weeks ago, after being in the Intensive Care Unit at a Nairobi hospital.
However, Cliff Ombeta, a top criminal lawyer, has come to Matete's defense, urging Kenyans to allow her to mourn in peace.
‘I have listened to the clip. It is only full of lamentations. All his info is from unverified sources,’ Ombeta said.
Ombeta questioned whether the manager had reported the previous incidents to the police and also wanted to know if BelovedJohn was treated in any hospital after being allegedly stabbed by Matete.
‘How did she stab him almost to death, yet he beats her and throws her out of the house and the narrator rescues her? Did he take John to hospital? How did he survive then?’ the lawyer posed.
Netizens asked Ombeta if he had already been hired by Matete to represent her in court, but the lawyer said that he has not been contacted because Matete has no case to answer.
