A video featuring a woman alleged to be Sarah Kabu, the co-founder of Bonfire Adventures, wielding a knife and forcibly ejecting a househelp from her home, has sent social media into a frenzy.
The disturbing clip sparked widespread criticism and debate, prompting her husband, Simon Kabu, to break his silence and address the incident in a detailed statement.
Simon Kabu Speaks Out
Simon Kabu, the CEO of Bonfire Adventures, responded to the uproar, acknowledging the incident while defending his family against what he called misleading narratives.
“Silence is considered the best weapon, but sometimes it can be mistaken for guilt,” Kabu said, explaining his decision to speak out.
“This video is for my children, my loved ones, my fans, and many who look up unto me for guidance, mentorship, and resilience. It’s done in good faith just to clear some air.”
What Happened?
According to Kabu, the woman seen in the viral video was the family’s nanny, who had been hired through professional recruitment channels.
“Yes, the lady in question was my professional nanny, recruited professionally by my HR and GM. I gave my JD, and she was recruited,” Kabu stated.
He revealed that the nanny had been working in their household for about a month before the incident occurred.
“That unfortunate incident happened that morning, and the lady was hurt. She went and reported at Kiambu Police Station, and the case was filed. Some people even wanted it to be filed as attempted murder,” Kabu explained.
Despite the severity of the incident, Kabu noted that the matter had been resolved amicably. He confirmed that Sarah Kabu had apologized to the nanny.

Simon Kabu Addresses Rumours
In addition to confirming the assault, Kabu also dismissed circulating rumours suggesting an inappropriate relationship between himself and the nanny or claims that another woman was pregnant with his child.
“There are rumours I am seeing that a lady was pregnant. This lady has never, or any other lady, been pregnant with my child. Guys, at my status ni nini sasa. That is someone’s daughter; stop tainting someone’s name,” he said.
Public Reaction
The video and Kabu’s statement have triggered mixed reactions online. While some commended him for addressing the issue publicly, others criticized the family’s handling of the incident and questioned Sarah’s conduct.
Kenyans on social media continue to debate the incident, with many calling for better treatment of domestic workers and accountability for acts of violence in households.
For now, the Kabus’ brand as a prominent power couple faces heightened scrutiny as the dust settles on this controversial incident.
