Kimani Mbugua’s father has confessed that his son was spiked at a birthday party.

Dedan Mbugua says the drugging of his son is one of the major causes of his son’s mental issues.

Speaking with Oga Obinna, baba Kimani said he saw a video of his son’s drink being spiked.

“My daughter took his phone, went through and saw the photos and videos of him at the party drinking while vomiting and falling as girls were beating him up. Before that my daughter told me she had seen a white substance in his glass,” he said.

The dad said Mbugua’s problems immediately started after the spiking incident with mental health problems affecting his son’s career and life.

Baba Kimani and his daughter tried to confiscate the phone with the videos but sadly the recordings got lost.

“I told my daughter to confiscate that phone, how it got lost we don’t know,” the father revealed.

Mbugua made a name for himself during his time at Citizen TV, where he captivated Kenyans with his eloquence and riveting reports.

He has also worked with NTV. Mbugua revealed his mental health battles adding he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder.
In a September 2023 video, Mbugua admitted Bipolar Disorder has derailed his life and career.
“Feels so bad to call myself a former TV journalist. I am in a problem, but I don’t want to also look as if I am begging,”
“I fell ill in 2020 after I was diagnosed with Bipolar disorder, and since then, my life has fallen apart. I have lost so many things, friends during the journey, and people got tired of me, and they got to a point where they were not willing to help,” he added.
