In an emotional moment that moved many online, Emma Akinyi broke down in tears as she recalled a heartfelt promise made to her by the late blogger and activist Albert Ojwang.
Speaking in a short video shared online, Akinyi, clearly shaken, said Albert had vowed to stand by her through thick and thin — a promise he never lived to fulfill.
“He told me, ‘Emma, no matter what happens, I’ll always be there,’” she sobbed. “Now he’s gone… just like that.”
The two were reportedly close, and friends describe their bond as strong and genuine. Akinyi’s grief has added a deeply personal layer to the mourning of Ojwang, whose death has already sparked public outrage and protest.
The video, shared in the comment section of a memorial post, shows Akinyi crying uncontrollably, clutching a framed photo of Albert.
Netizens have flooded the comment section with messages of support, with many expressing heartbreak over the pain she is going through.
Albert Ojwang was laid to rest amid calls for justice and transparency surrounding the circumstances of his death. As the nation continues to demand answers, personal testimonies like Akinyi’s reveal the deep void left behind.
