Nairobi county first lady, Primrose Mbuvi, survived bullets fired at her car by police over alleged stolen Range Rover from Cuba Motors Company.
Governor Sonko narrates how his wife survived the bullets from flying squad officers in the year 2008.
A few days before the fateful day, retired President Daniel Arap Moi’s car was mysteriously stolen from CMC yard where it had been taken for service.
Primrose Mbuvi
Sonko’s wife had bought a Range Rover (KAQ 535W) which was being used by former president after it was involved in a road accident at Ksh 7.5 million by the then Agriculture minister, the current Deputy President William Ruto through a car dealer.
After this sale the former President Moi acquired another brand new state of art range rover. Many people confused this car with that owned and driven by Sonko’s wife then. Flying squad officers launched a manhunt for the stolen Moi’s car.
One Saturday morning as Sonko’s wife and kids were leaving the house to go for shopping, they were stopped by flying squad officers who were haunting for the stolen car but the first lady refused to stop after sensing that over 5 vehicles were trailing them.
Primrose suspected that it was car jackers and tried to speed off but the flying squad officers opened fire randomly at the car, luckily the car was armoured nobody was hurt. At some point she stopped her car after being cornered together with the kids prompting her.
They were forced to open the windows and come out of the car while putting their hands up. At this juncture, the flying officers had realized that the occupants of the circulated vehicle were all harmless. They were all arrested and taken to Buru Buru police station.
Later primrose was escorted to the house to collect ownership documents.

As I was celebrating my birthday with my family earlier today, my mind recalled a story in the year 2008 when flying squad officers led by the so called no nonsense eagle one sprayed bullets to the car the woman behind my success the current first lady of Nairobi was driving. The occupants in the car were all my kids. Our memories are still very fresh. A few days before that material day former retired President Daniel Arap Moi's car was mysteriously stollen from CMC yard where it had been taken for service. My wife had bought a range rover (KAQ 535W) which was being used by the former President after it was involved in a road accident at 7.5m by the then Agriculture minister whose the current Dp through a car dealer called Nganga Mundia. After this sale the former President Moi acquired another brand new state of art range rover. Many people confused this car with that owned and driven by my wife then. Flying squad officers launched a manhunt for the stolen Moi's car. One Saturday morning as my wife and kids were leaving the house to go for shopping, they were stopped by flying squad officers who were haunting for the stollen car but my wife refused to stop after sensing that over 5 vehicles were trailing them. She immediately called and told me she's suspecting car jackers want to block and kidnap them. As she tried to speed the flying squad officers opened fire randomly at the car, luckily the car was armoured nobody was hurt. At some point she stopped her car after being cornered together with the kids prompting her. They were forced to open the windows and come out of the car while putting their hands up. At this juncture the flying officers had realised that the occupants of the circulated vehicle were all harmless. They were all arrested and taken to Buru Buru police station. Later my wife was escorted to the house to collect ownership documents. This is how innocent Kenyans meet their deaths. My message to you, if a police officer stops your car just comply with the order and stop. As a family we glorify the name of the living God for this day. Enjoy the rest of your Sunday.
