Kenyan singer Akothee is calling for help after a shocking robbery at her Mtwapa residence, where thieves made away with her cherished sound system. Deeply shaken, the outspoken artist took to Facebook to share her anguish and is now offering a KSh20,000 reward for any information that could lead to the recovery of her stolen property.
The break-in reportedly took place at night, with the intruders accessing her home and stealing valuable items, including her piano and music equipment. Akothee suspects it may have been an inside job—her dogs didn’t bark, the security guards were absent, and the gates remained untouched as the robbers freely moved through her home, even dismantling items in her bedroom.
Having lived in Mtwapa for over 17 years, Akothee expressed her heartbreak that such a violation could occur in a place she has always considered safe. She appealed to anyone with useful information to contact her brother Foky at 0759964723 and promised a cash reward to anyone who helps bring the perpetrators to justice.
