A city professor who divorced his wife and left his matrimonial home in Kileleshwa has revealed how the woman had plotted to kill him and take over his wealth.
Edward Kairo told Kibera magistrate Barbara Ojoo that his former wife Mary Njoki Ndiba had reached a conclusion to have him dead.
The two lived as a couple between 2007 and 2013 during which he supported her education in the United States.
The water consultant professor said Njoki forged documents.
Kairo said he facilitated Njoki’s relocation from the US to Kenya after her education as she had requested.
Njoki is a member of the board of Non-Governmental Organisations, the Star established.
Kairo who was giving his testimony against Njoki said he learnt about the plot to kill him through his sister-in-law.
The water consultant professor said Njoki forged documents including a logbook and changed the ownership of the vehicle to her name against his consent.
He said he sued to reposses the vehicle. He said that since 2013, the car had been kept at Kilimani police station.
“In 2013, she told my sister-in-law Mary Njonjo that she had come to a conclusion to have me dead so that she could own my house, wealth including plot and my new vehicle. Lucky enough, my sister-in-law saved me by a whisper,” Kairo said.
He told the court that the wife through her lawyer Susan Ndirangu, wrote to his lawyer Evans Wachira on several occasions around November 15, 2013 requesting to access his pin and some details to access his critical information.
“She wrote to me occasionally to help her with my pin and other documents so as to access my details,” Kairo said.
Kairo said he bought the vehicle from Botom Line dealers at Sh1.5 million.
He realised the vehicle, KBJ 158M, had changed the ownership to her Njoki’s name through dubious means.
“I realised that my vehicle had been stolen after my lawyer went to KRA and confirmed that the owner was my wife. I never signed any document to show that I gave her the vehicle. I have a copy of the logbook but she has the original, the vehicle is at Kilimani police station,” he said.
Njoki said Kairo had given him the vehicle, and signed the approval document, a claim the man denied.
Wycliffe Onyango, the dealer who sold the car to Kairo said that he was aware the ownership of the vehicle was changed in a fraudulent manner.
Kairo said he married Njoki in December 2007, took her abroad to further her studies and facilitated her transportation back to Kenya where they lived together until 2013 when he learnt about the threat to his life.
Ojoo directed the case be heard again on June 19.
