On May 5, 2020, Cebbie Koks, Akothee's younger sister, took to social media to express her support for Tecra Muigai, who has been facing criticism for her relationship with Omar Lali.
According to Cebbie, Tecra was still young when she passed away, and she deserved condolences and peace. However, Cebbie chose not to delve into the circumstances of her death, citing ongoing police investigations.
Instead, Cebbie focused on the debate surrounding Tecra's relationship with Omar, a man from a lower social class. She argued that it's not uncommon for women from high social classes to date men considered inferior, and that love knows no boundaries of age, looks, or social status.
Cebbie referenced Pernille Ipsen's work on interracial marriage, highlighting that such relationships have been recognized and respected in certain cultures. She also shared examples of love stories that defy logic and societal norms, including Tecra's relationship with Omar.
In her post, Cebbie emphasized the importance of respecting people's choices, even if they may seem contradictory or unconventional. She concluded by saying that Tecra chose her life, and that's enough.
