Jipange Sasa! Itumbi's Encouragement to 'Bestie' Maribe Post-Acquittal

In the wake of television journalist Jacque Maribe's acquittal in the prolonged case surrounding the murder of businesswoman Monica Irungu, Dennis Itumbi, a polarizing figure in Kenyan politics and media, took to social media to express his relief and offer words of encouragement to his close friend.

Itumbi, known for his controversial blogging and close association with President William Ruto, celebrated Maribe's exoneration, declaring on social media that "justice had been done" following the six-year legal saga. "Jackie Maribe is free. Maribe did not kill Monica. I feel so vindicated," he proclaimed, echoing the sentiments of many who had followed the high-profile case closely.

Reflecting on the arduous journey endured by Maribe throughout the grueling trial, Itumbi praised her resilience and fortitude in the face of adversity. "It has been six years, a journey of shadows, where unjust chains sought to bind the spirit of a great friend, a charming personality, a friend I treasure much. Today, the truth has unveiled its brilliance, dispelling the darkness," he wrote, underscoring Maribe's strength in the midst of uncertainty.

Turning his attention to the future, Itumbi urged Maribe to embrace her newfound freedom and seize the opportunity to rebuild her life. "Jacque Maribe, like a phoenix, now you have only one duty, rise from the ashes, for time may be lost, but not the essence of your being. As your friends, our collective hands extend to hold you as you take the next steps. My good friend, welcome back to the embrace of freedom," he affirmed, offering his unwavering support as she navigates the path forward.

In a separate post, Itumbi criticized the investigative authorities involved in Maribe's case during the tenure of former President Uhuru Kenyatta, alleging attempts to sabotage the proceedings without providing concrete evidence to substantiate his claims.

Throughout Maribe's legal ordeal, Itumbi remained a steadfast ally, publicly demonstrating his solidarity and affection for her. Their close relationship was evident in numerous public displays of affection, including sharing intimate moments and gestures of camaraderie, reinforcing the depth of their bond.

As Maribe moves beyond the shadow of suspicion cast upon her and seeks to rebuild her life, she does so with the support and encouragement of allies like Itumbi, who stand by her side as she embarks on a new chapter of freedom and redemption.
