Just like her father who likes rolling out in style with big expensive ‘machines’, Nairobi governor Mike Sonko’s firstborn daughter Saumu Mbuvi is taking nothing to chance as far as partying hard with big boys is concerned.
Over the Weekend, Ms. Agnes Saumu Mbuvi in the company of Lamu Senator decided to rock Memphis Lounge Club a popular club near United States International University as they wait to catch a glimpse of the biggest match in Europe, The Eufa Champions League finals.
The time was around 2 am on Sunday, June 2, and Sonko’s daughter Saumu was still having a good time with Lamu Senator Anwar Loitiptip. According to police reports, Saumu excused herself to the washrooms. That is when the trouble began.
While at the washrooms, a man not known to her confronted her pulling her blouse that he allegedly tore. She told police she screamed in the confrontation in the toilet and an unknown person hurled a stone towards her.
Her attacker let her off and got into another room near the toilet. By then, the Senator who was apparently alerted of the incident and rushed there to save her. According to Saumu, Loitiptip told off the man declaring the governor’s daughter was his girlfriend.
With Loitiptip’s arrival, the man came out of the room and asked for forgiveness. Unknown to them that they meant no good for the two, Sonko’s daughter asked the senator to let the man go.

At around 2.40 am, the two decide to leave the club. At the car parking lot, they are said to have encountered a group of nine men armed with assorted weapons. The man brown man who had earlier assaulted Saumu was also in the company of the attackers.
According to Saumu, the men started hitting the Senator with clubs and other weapons. She tried to plead with the attackers to let them go but her plea fell on deaf ears. While trying to protect the overwhelmed Senator, the gang hit her on the hands in the process sustaining hand injuries.
After their heinous act, the gang escaped from the scene leaving the bleeding Senator and the injured Saumu at the mercy of death. Saumu managed to call her cousin and stepsister who rushed to the scene and took the two to the hospital.
Loitiptip sustained deep head cuts in the fracas and was rushed to Aga Khan hospital for treatment. The senator is still admitted at the hospital while receiving further treatment.
Kasarani police boss Tom Kimani has said they have started the investigations into the matter and are already holding a bouncer at the club in connection with the attack. He added that they are still in pursuit of the other five attackers who were involved.
It is not yet clear whether the attackers had trailed Sonko’s daughter to the club or it was just another usual attack on the clubbers.
It is also not clear why the senator termed Saumu as his girlfriend when it is in public domain that he is married to an AP officer one Ms. Sophie Mohamed attached to a local bank in Nairobi.
The senator in an earlier interview with a local media house had stated that he is married to Sophia and that they are blessed with one beautiful daughter.
“It’s too late for those who have been drooling over me. I am taken and have been dating Sophie for three years now. She is all I wanted in a woman, in fact, I cannot choose another woman over her.

I know that being a public figure has its challenges like dealing with stalkers, but they can try another senator since I am not in the market” Said Anwar who is of Maasai and Swahili extraction.
During the 2017 hotly contested elections, Loitiptip defeated the famous coast politician 70-year-old Abu Chiaba during nominations, before clinching the Senate seat in the August 8 General Election.
The graduate of Kampala International University shocked many in his county when he campaigned using his mother’s ambulance, motorbike and later a Probox.
