Governor Mutula Kilonzo Embroiled in Dramatic Fallout With Baby Mama

Former Lover Claims Torture in Prison as Court Orders Her to Refund Ksh 15 Million

Nairobi, Kenya — The soft life has come to a screeching halt for Wambui Musyoki, the woman at the center of a bitter legal battle with Makueni Governor Mutula Kilonzo Junior, in a saga that has exposed the messy underbelly of political power, broken relationships, and contested paternity.

Once living large as the alleged side chick of the prominent politician, Wambui now finds herself on the opposite end of fortune’s wheel — fresh out of Lang’ata Women’s Prison, ordered by the courts to repay Ksh 15 million, and claiming she endured three months of hell behind bars.

The Rise: Living the Soft Life

Before everything fell apart, Wambui was reportedly living the kind of life that turns heads and sparks envy.

Sources close to the situation say Governor Mutula showered her with lavish gifts during their relationship — expensive cars, cash running into millions, and even a parcel of land.

She was frequently spotted at Nairobi’s most exclusive restaurants and lounges, dressed to the nines and enjoying the perks that come with being romantically linked to a powerful politician.

For a time, it seemed like Wambui had hit the jackpot.

The Fall: When Love Turns to Legal War

But as with many such arrangements, the fairy tale didn’t last. According to court documents reviewed by this publication, the relationship crumbled, and what followed was a legal slugfest that has left both parties bloodied.

Court papers from the Milimani Law Courts reveal that Victoria Ndunge Musyoki (Wambui’s legal name) filed a case against the Governor, claiming he owed her the decretal sum of Ksh 15 million. However, a consent order dated September 25, 2025, tells a very different story.

The court document shows that Wambui actually admitted she owed the Governor Ksh 15 million and was ordered to refund the money within 90 days.

The order also directed her to vacate a property described as “Donyo Sabuk Prime West Block 1/385” within the same period.

The Prison Stint: Torture Claims and Mental Breakdown

In emotional social media messages shared by her friend and blogger Caroline K. Gikunda, Wambui paints a horrifying picture of her time in Lang’ata Women’s Prison.

“I was in LANGATA women prison for 3 months I went through hell and back,” she wrote, claiming she was beaten, covered in blankets during the assaults, and subjected to severe sexual abuse.

She alleges she was “frequently fingered and had objects like bottles inserted” in her vagina, and that she was given medication without being told what it was for. Wambui says she’s now experiencing hallucinations, can’t sleep, and is having suicidal thoughts.

“Mutula paid wardens no one will tell you the truth to have me blinded by a blanket and be beaten off,” she claimed, adding that drugs were allegedly planted under her name to secure a conviction.

She says she’s seeking medical attention and is willing to speak publicly about her ordeal: “She doesn’t mind if this goes public, she is available for interviews by whoever would like to know the hell she has been through.”

The Governor’s Side: A Matter Settled by Justice

But there’s another side to this story — one that’s been decided in a court of law.

According to the consent order, the case was about paternity and money advanced in good faith.

Legal observers familiar with the matter say that Mutula provided financial support believing he was the father of Wambui’s daughter, only to discover later through DNA testing that he was not.

The court document shows Wambui admitted the debt and agreed to repay it.

When she failed to comply with the court order, she was lawfully arrested and remanded in custody — a standard legal consequence for contempt of court.

Sources close to the Governor’s office insist that any claims of torture are fabrications designed to garner sympathy and distract from the fact that Wambui lost her case in court.

“This matter was heard, tested, and concluded in a court of law,” a source said.

“The DNA proved the child was not his. She failed to appear for testing initially, then the evidence showed the truth. She was ordered to return the money. When she didn’t pay, the law took its course.”

The source added: “After a decade of this falsehood lingering, justice has finally spoken. Any claims of what happened in prison should be addressed through proper legal channels, not social media.”

A Tale of Two Narratives

What we’re left with is a classic he-said-she-said scenario, but one where the court has already ruled.

On one hand, there’s Wambui’s deeply troubling account of abuse and suffering in prison — claims that, if true, would represent serious human rights violations deserving of investigation.

On the other hand, there’s a legal judgment that shows she admitted owing money, was given time to pay, and faced legal consequences when she didn’t comply.

The court order makes no mention of torture or abuse. It simply states that upon adoption of the consent, “the Plaintiff VICTORIA NDUNGE MUSYOKI shall be released from custody.”

Wambui says she’s willing to pay the Ksh 15 million “given time” to save her life and freedom. She’s calling for support and asking people to reach out if they want to hear her story.

Meanwhile, Governor Mutula remains focused on his duties in Makueni County. His office has made it clear they consider this matter closed — settled by the courts after years of litigation.

Whether Wambui’s claims of prison abuse will be investigated remains to be seen.

Such allegations are serious and would typically require scrutiny by bodies like the Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) or the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights.

For now, what’s clear is that the soft life Wambui once enjoyed has given way to one of the most dramatic falls from grace in recent Kenyan political gossip — a cautionary tale about what happens when romance, money, and power collide, then explode.
