The controversy erupted after a video clip surfaced online showing her locking lips with  controversial TikTok lesbian, Manzi Wa Mombasa, while tipsy. In a recent video exchange, an unidentified man confronted her directly about the swirling rumors. The man began by asking if she was okay before bluntly asking if she was a lesbian? “I’m not a lesbian. I want to clarify that once again, I’m really not a lesbian,” she firmly stated. The man, visibly disappointed, accused her of embarrassing the Maasai community. “You know you are embarrassing the Maasai,” he told her, referencing the viral clips. Naipei, in turn, offered an apology to those offended, saying “Poleni,” (I’m sorry). The exchange ended with the man advising her to cut ties with certain friends he described as “besties with those habits.” He urged her to commit to being a “good person” moving forward. Naipei agreed, responding with a simple “Yes.” He then insisted that she returns to church immediately, framing it as a path to redemption.

Friday, May 08, 2026 - The U.S Department of State, in coordination with the Department of Health and Human Services, has rolled out a tough new directive that could affect thousands of Kenyans living abroad with U.S citizenship.The Government announced that passports belonging to individuals with “significant” unpaid child support debt will now face revocation.The policy, unveiled on Friday, May 8th, targets Americans who owe more than $2,500 (about Ksh322,000) in child support arrears.Under President Donald Trump’s administration, the move is part of a renewed push to enforce compliance, with officials stressing that non‑compliant parents must settle their debts with state enforcement agencies before they can qualify for a valid passport.For Kenyans holding dual citizenship, the impact could be dramatic. Those abroad when their passports are revoked will only be issued limited‑validity travel documents, allowing direct return to the U.S but no further international travel.In essence, unpaid child support could ground your global mobility.“To be eligible for a U.S passport, you must pay any outstanding child support.” The Department of State emphasized.While the government has long denied new passport applications for defaulters, this latest directive signals a sharper crackdown.Affected individuals have been urged to contact state child support enforcement agencies immediately and arrange repayment plans.Once debts are cleared, eligibility for a new passport is restored.

Friday, May 8, 2026 - A 68-year-old woman identified as Teresia Mwikali Amukoa is in police custody after detectives from the Anti-Narcotics Unit (ANU) and the Transnational Organised Crime Unit (TOCU) uncovered her alleged involvement in narcotics trafficking. According to a statement released by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), detectives acted on a tip-off and mounted an ambush at the main entrance of Mutete Flats in Athi River, where the suspect was intercepted while riding pillion on a motorcycle. At first glance, the elderly woman appeared like an ordinary resident returning home from the market. However, detectives who had been monitoring her movements became suspicious and conducted a thorough search. The search revealed three handbags packed with packages of Cannabis Sativa, commonly known as bhang, instead of groceries as many would have expected. Following the discovery, detectives extended the operation to the suspect’s residence, where a further search uncovered more packages of the prohibited substance hidden inside a basket and a transparent polythene bag. Authorities believe Mwikali could be part of a larger narcotics distribution network operating within Athi River and its surrounding areas. She was immediately arrested and escorted to Muthaiga Police Station, where she is currently undergoing processing pending arraignment in court. The recovered narcotics have been secured as exhibits as investigations continue. The Kenyan DAILY POST
