The Tragic Tale of Stephen Wangondu

"I have 160K, find a team. I want that boy dead!"

In the vibrant aftermath of the exuberant New Year's celebrations of 2021, a tale of heartbreak and tragedy unfolded in the enchanting land of Kenya. Enter our protagonist, the spirited and driven businessman, Dan Mwangi, as he embarked on a journey homeward to Nyeri County. Unbeknownst to him, this seemingly ordinary return would prove to be the final chapter in his all-too-short tale of life.

Unbeknownst to Dan, a perilous danger awaited him just beyond the confines of his gate. As he swung open the entrance, like a scene from an ancient Norse saga, merciless assassins hired by his father, the affluent Stephen Wangondu, pounced upon him with the force of raging Vikings. They struck him down with fatal blows, leaving him lifeless by his car, which patiently awaited its master's arrival. This horrifying tableau shook the quiet town of Mweiga, still nursing its collective hangover from a night of revelry.

But how did father and son find themselves in such a dire situation? Let me regale you with the tale. Stephen Wangondu was a prosperous businessman who resided in the village of Wendiga, nestled in Nyeri County. His primary source of wealth stemmed from his thriving agri-farming enterprises, including fish farms, tea plantations, and banana groves. These fertile lands had transformed him into a billionaire, enabling him to invest in rental apartments and petrol stations strategically positioned at bustling matatu stages. His business acumen even extended to the mining industry, where he owned a stone-crushing plant along the Nyeri-Nyahururu Highway in his hometown of Mweiga.

Within the confines of his opulent mansion, nestled upon a vast 100-acre farm in Wendiga, Stephen lived with his wives. The good Lord had blessed him with nine children, a mix of boys and girls. To ease the mobility of his large brood, he generously gifted his wives with either a luxurious Range Rover or Land Rover, depending on their personal preferences. These vehicles became their chariots as they carried out their daily duties, tending to Stephen's offspring. Despite being half-siblings, each child received equal love and attention, as Stephen spared no expense in providing them with an exceptional education, dressing his sons in handsome suits that mirrored his impeccable style.

As the saying goes, "Ugali comes from Flour," and one of Stephen's sons, Dan Mwangi Wang'ondu, embraced his father's legacy in agribusiness. However, Dan had a unique passion that set him apart – his deep affection for dogs. He transformed his love for canines into a thriving business, breeding, and training German Shepherds for sale. His adoration for these loyal companions was so profound that he proudly displayed them as his profile picture on social media. In addition to managing his father's enterprises, Dan pursued his ventures, such as the renowned Club Stesco Mweiga, perched atop a bank.

Yet, amidst the harmonious dance of managing his father's businesses, Dan often found himself at odds with James Mahinda, his father's confidant and driver. Mahinda wielded great influence over financial matters and held the power to decide who could meet with Wang'ondu. This constant friction irked Dan, but little did he know that fate had a different plan in store for him. In a twist of divine intervention, an angel entered his life, cloaked in beauty and love. This heavenly being came in the form of a woman named Fridah Njeri, and love blossomed between them like a delicate flower in full bloom. Their union blessed them with two beautiful daughters, making Wang'ondu a proud grandfather. In celebration of this joyous occasion, Wang'ondu bestowed upon Dan a generous gift of 20 acres of land, where he built a home for his beloved family.

However, unbeknownst to Dan, his father harbored desires for his daughter-in-law that mirrored the thoughts of many who beheld her captivating beauty. As the days passed, the couple encountered the usual trials and tribulations that plague any relationship. Some issues they managed to overcome, like the lyrics of a melodious song, while others drove them further apart. It was during this turbulent period that the true colors of Stephen Wangondu were revealed. Shamelessly, he abandoned all decency and moved in with his daughter-in-law, even establishing a business for her. This revelation deeply disturbed Dan, plunging him into a daily ritual of drowning his sorrows in alcohol, desperately trying to comprehend the nightmare he found himself trapped within.

Consumed by anguish and tormented by the torment unfolding before his eyes, Dan summoned the courage to confront his father like a lion facing its adversary. On the fateful day of December 1, 2020, in a public confrontation at the Mweiga Petrol Station, Dan unleashed his pent-up emotions upon his father, demanding answers to the burning question that plagued his mind, "Why are you hosting my ex-lover?" The shock and bewilderment etched on Wangondu's face were undeniable as he attempted to stammer his way out of the public spectacle. At that moment, he realized the gravity of his actions and the irreversible damage he had caused.

Enraged and wounded, Wangondu reached for his phone, his voice trembling with rage as he instructed his trusted driver and confidant, Elijah Mahinda, to seek out a team of ruthless individuals. He uttered the chilling words, "I have 160K, find a team. I want that boy dead!"

And so, the sad tale of Stephen Wangondu and his ill-fated son, Dan Mwangi, comes to a tragic crossroads. It is a story of familial betrayal, passion, and the devastating consequences that ensue when love turns into a weapon of destruction. The echoes of this dark chapter continue to haunt the hearts of those who witnessed it, forever reminding us of the fragile nature of human relationships and the dire consequences that can arise from unchecked desires.
