Former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko intervened to protect controversial blogger Andrew Kibe from an agitated crowd in a club along Ngong Road in Nairobi.
The incident occurred during a live TikTok session between Kibe and Sonko on April 29, when a group of angry youths, suspected to be from Kibra, stormed the club demanding Kibe’s removal.
These youths claimed they had seen Kibe’s social media posts about the interview and were outraged by his controversial remarks on trending topics.
Despite the tense situation, Sonko managed to calm the crowd and persuade them to leave peacefully, ensuring Kibe’s safety.
During the interview, Sonko, known for his flamboyant lifestyle, mentioned that he is currently unemployed and keeping a low profile.
The video footage shows Sonko escorting the youths out of the club while Kibe remains composed, observing the scene.
The unexpected meeting between Sonko and Kibe comes after a public feud between them last year. Sonko had criticized Kibe for mentioning his name on his YouTube show and invading his privacy, particularly regarding his personal life and comments about Kenyan celebrities, especially women.
In response, Kibe had openly criticized Sonko, calling him a loser and advising him to show humility.
Despite their past differences, the two seemed to have reconciled, sharing drinks and exchanging jokes during the interview. Sonko discussed his removal from office as Nairobi County Governor during the live session.
