Obinna pledged to locate the talented TV host himself and accompany him to the hospital for necessary treatment and rehabilitation.

“I reached out to him a while ago. He didn’t show up, alikula fare but that is water under the bridge,”

“Commenting I wonder, I wonder, is not helping him. I need someone who knows where he is. Let’s find him, find a hospital and drive him there. He will thank us later. When a brother is naked, we cover his nakedness,” Obinna said.



Kimani Mbugua has been making headlines over the past year due to his concerning condition.

Kenyans have expressed worry after a series of videos surfaced showing Mbugua exhibiting extreme behavior.

In one video, Mbugua can be seen yelling profanities and destroying household items.

In another video, Mbugua alleges that he spoke to Elon Musk, whom he holds responsible for his financial troubles.

Mbugua gained prominence during his tenure at Citizen TV, where he mesmerized Kenyans with his articulate delivery and compelling reports.

He has also been associated with NTV. Mbugua opened up about his struggles with mental health, disclosing that he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.

In a video from September 2023, Mbugua acknowledged that bipolar disorder has significantly disrupted his life and career.

“Feels so bad to call myself a former TV journalist. I am in a problem, but I don’t want to also look as if I am begging,”

“I fell ill in 2020 after I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, and since then, my life has fallen apart. I have lost so many things, friends during the journey, and people got tired of me, and they got to a point where they were not willing to help,” he added.
