On whether the video showed their side of the story, they state that the two brothers were only involved in the matter in am attempt to neutralise the situation at hand that is under investigation.

“We are aware of a video and news story circulating on social media regarding an altercation with Eddie and Paul Ndichu, the Company’s co-founders, at a Nairobi hotel on Saturday night.

We found the story distasteful and troubling and want to firmly state that any type of behaviour involving violence against women does not reflect our values nor does it reflect those of Eddie and Paul.

Our understanding is that the allegations and video currently being shared on social media, albeit horrific and regrettable, do not depict the true events that transpired that night.

To be clear, Paul and Eddie got
involved in an attempt to neutralize a confrontation between two women and to defend themselves from
certain aggressors.

The matter has been reported to the police and DCI for further investigation and resolution. Pending this, we request restraint be exercised in potentially and unfairly spreading misinformation that has no factual basis.

At the moment, we cannot comment further on this matter as it is being handled by the appropriate authorities to ensure the truth prevails.
