A shocking turn of events has unfolded in the case of Elias Mutugi Njeru, a member of Jesus Compassion Ministry Church, and his estranged wife, Florence Wanjiku Gichohi.
Njeru has surrendered to police after CCTV footage emerged showing a violent confrontation between the two.
The video offers new insight into the sequence of events leading to a brutal attack that left Florence hospitalized with severe injuries.
Altercation Caught on CCTV
The CCTV footage, which has sparked widespread discussion, begins at a local entertainment spot where Njeru and Florence are seen engaging in a heated discussion.
The scene then shifts to Florence leaving the establishment in her Toyota Succeed, heading home. On arrival, she is captured hugging her security guard before driving off.
Shortly after, Njeru is seen arriving at the same parking lot in a Land Cruiser. He briefly chats with the security guard before Florence returns.
The footage then escalates dramatically as Florence is seen reversing her car and ramming into Njeru’s vehicle twice.
In response, Njeru is seen approaching her car, switching off the ignition, and removing the keys. He then escorts Florence into his vehicle, a move that raises questions about what happened next.

Contradicting Accounts on Florence Wanjiku assault
The video has introduced a new twist to the ongoing case. Florence, currently recovering at Optimum Hospital, previously stated that Njeru stabbed her 18 times at their residence in Rongai, Nakuru, following an argument about personal and business matters.
However, if the footage was indeed recorded on the same day, it raises questions about the timeline and sequence of events leading to the attack.
Florence has also spoken from her hospital bed, describing a strained relationship with Njeru, including her efforts to end their marriage, which she claims he resisted.
Njeru’s Surrender
Amid the release of the footage, Njeru has surrendered to authorities. His surrender has added another layer to the case, as investigators work to piece together the events that culminated in the brutal assault.
Public Reaction
The case has sparked outrage and debate, with the footage adding complexity to an already controversial situation.
Many are calling for a thorough and impartial investigation to ensure justice for Florence, while others are questioning the context and intent captured in the video.
Police are continuing their investigations, analyzing the footage and interviewing both parties to establish a clearer picture of what transpired.
The case serves as a stark reminder of the deep challenges in addressing domestic violence and the need for systems that can protect those at risk while ensuring accountability for perpetrators.
