Sarah Njoki, popularly known as Sarah Mtalii, has broken her silence with a fierce and unapologetic stance in her bitter split from estranged husband and Bonfire Adventures boss, Simon Kabu. What began as quiet speculation about a marital fallout has now escalated into one of the most explosive celebrity divorces in Kenya, with fresh court documents painting a picture of infidelity, financial manipulation, and emotional betrayal.
In the court filings, Sarah accuses Simon of being in an adulterous relationship with Maureen Wambui Kabu — a woman Simon publicly refers to as his daughter. However, Sarah claims Maureen is not his child but his secret lover. According to her, Maureen has not only been living in the couple’s former matrimonial home but has also received gifts and property transfers — including company vehicles — courtesy of Simon.
These revelations have triggered a nationwide debate, with many questioning the true nature of Simon and Maureen’s relationship. What has made the case even more controversial is Sarah’s allegation that Simon transferred business assets, including key vehicles from their company, directly into Maureen’s name without her consent.
The entrepreneur didn’t just make her case in court — she also took to social media to send a powerful message. In a widely viewed video shared from a flight, Sarah urged women trapped in toxic marriages to leave while they still can. Her caption read like a call to action: “If you are going through a toxic marriage, just know that tough times never last, but tough people do. Don’t wait to die; plan your exit well.” She also invited women to share their stories, revealing she had dedicated her day to visiting the Virtuous Women Rescue Centre safe house — an initiative close to her heart.
The message resonated deeply online, with many Kenyans expressing their support while others took a more critical tone. One TikTok user commented, “Your family is more important than anything in this world. Mind about it,” to which Sarah responded bluntly, “Sometimes you might run that family to the grave or the mental hospital. I am living my best life now. Say no to toxic marriages.” Another user predicted Simon would come back to ask for forgiveness, to which she replied, “I am so happy single. I regret not leaving earlier.”
As Sarah’s statements gained traction, the spotlight shifted to Maureen Wambui. In what many interpreted as a calculated response, Maureen shared a photo of herself with Simon, describing him as her greatest mentor. She followed it up with vacation content from Zanzibar — horseback riding in the ocean, lounging by the beach, and enjoying a night out with Simon. While some viewers believed it was simply a father-daughter moment, others questioned the authenticity of their relationship, suggesting the posts were attempts to counter the ongoing backlash.
The online debate shows no signs of slowing down. While some defend Maureen and Simon, believing their bond is innocent, others remain skeptical and continue to scrutinize the timeline and nature of their closeness. The saga has drawn in hundreds of comments, reactions, and think-pieces across social media, cementing it as one of Kenya’s most talked-about celebrity separations in recent memory.
Neither Simon Kabu nor Maureen Wambui has issued a direct response to Sarah’s accusations, but with the public closely watching every move, more revelations may yet surface. For now, Sarah Mtalii appears determined to live life on her terms, sending a strong message to women everywhere: walk away from toxicity, and don’t look back.
