Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Nakuabudu by Jowie Irungu hits 87k views on YouTube in 8 hours as his first Gospel song after being sentenced..
The trial of the killer of Ms Kimani, who had links to South Sudan, has gripped Kenya, even though no motive for her killing has been established.
The main suspect was Mr Irungu, who previously worked as a security officer for a private firm in Dubai and provided VIP security for a number of politicians in Kenya.
Mr Irungu was identified by several witnesses as the last person to see Ms Kimani alive at her apartment. He entered the complex with an ID card belonging to another person.
Ms Kimani was found tied up in a bathtub by her brother and his girlfriend after they failed to contact her.
Mr Irungu tried to defend himself by saying that he did not know Ms Kimani, but the judge debunked this and said they both attended Kenya Polytechnic and were in the same class.
Mr Irungu will remain in custody until he is sentenced on 8 March.
Jowie Irungu, a name that has resonated within the Kenyan media sphere for reasons beyond just music, has recently made headlines for a very different reason. Following a court ruling where he was found guilty of murder, Jowie released a gospel song titled “Nakuabudu“​​. The timing of the release, just moments after the verdict, adds a poignant layer to the song’s message and Irungu’s personal journey.
