A toxicology test will also be conducted to determine if substances he used impacted his condition. After this, the doctor will examine him to assess his mental state, and we will proceed with the rest of the process,” his father said. The former journalist shared that he was feeling energised despite the circumstances. Moreover, Kimani\’s father apologised to Sonko for his recent actions of abandoning his son when he needed him the most. \”Let us first rescue him. To Mike Sonko, thank you very much for what you put across. We are taking it as advice from an elder brother for us to come together and work well. We would like to even take him out of the country, and if you want to come and take Kimani out of the country, you can. I know you love him very much. For me, where I have gone wrong as a father, I say sorry. Kimani is my blood; I will never let him go. I will be happy if he gets well, and I will let him come and work for you.\” The father did not forget to express his gratitude to Obinna and his team for promptly picking up Kimani and taking him to the facility for treatment. Kimani’s return to rehab comes after Sonko publicly criticised Obinna and Kimani’s father for engaging in public accusations, which he claimed were harmful to Kimani’s recovery. Previously, Kimani was admitted at Mombasa Women’s Hospital where he was released in December 2024.
