Wanjiru Karumba, the wife of celebrated gospel DJ Krowbar, joyfully announced her husband’s safe return after raising concerns about his disappearance.
Her heartfelt message came late Friday, December 28, 2024, following a period of intense worry and public appeals for assistance.
“WE FOUND HIM THANKS ‼️‼️‼️‼️,” Karumba expressed in an Instagram post, conveying her relief and gratitude to those who supported her during the distressing hours.
Earlier in the day, Karumba had turned to social media to report her husband missing, citing fears of an abduction.
Her concerns emerged amid a wave of abductions targeting perceived critics of President William Ruto’s administration.
She detailed that DJ Krowbar had last been seen around 4 pm in Ngumo, where he had lunch with a friend before heading to pick her up from the hospital.
“Please help us find my lovely husband,” Karumba implored on Instagram. “He is missing from 4 p.m., last location Ngumo. He had lunch with his friend and then went missing while coming to pick me from the hospital. We suspect abduction. Please share widely and pray with us as we look for him, for protection and for him to come back safely.”
Health challenges
The couple’s ordeal resonated deeply with many, as Karumba has been enduring a personal health battle since being diagnosed with kidney failure in April 2022.
She has undergone regular dialysis and faced repeated setbacks in her journey toward recovery.
Efforts at a kidney transplant have been delayed multiple times due to recurring infections, with DJ Krowbar revealing in August 2024 that they were preparing for a fifth attempt at the procedure.
The emotional and psychological toll of Karumba’s condition has weighed heavily on the family.
She has openly spoken about its impact on their children and emphasized the importance of resilience and hope in facing such challenges.
DJ Krowbar has frequently acknowledged the strength they have drawn from therapy and the unwavering support of their community.
Throughout their struggles, the couple’s faith and determination have inspired many.
They continue to advocate for greater awareness of kidney health and the importance of support systems in navigating adversity.
Their shared journey has become a beacon of hope for others enduring similar trials.
