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.
