Man tells court he unlawfully entered Bunge Towers looking for his 13 wives
A Nairobi Court has granted the Directorate of Public Prosecution (DPP) 14 days to take Nelson Ibrahim Kidero, alias Nelson Muriithi, for a mental assessment before being charged for entering Bunge Towers unlawfully.
The DPP is seeking to charge Kidero with unlawful entry into parliamentary precincts, contrary to section 31 (1) (a) as read with section 31 (2) of the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act 2017.

According to court papers, Kidero is said to have been caught on July 30, 2025, and August 7, 2025, accessing Bunge Towers unlawfully.
“On August 7, 2025, at around 2130 hours at Nairobi within Nairobi County, you were found at the parking area of the Bunge Towers without lawful authority,” part of the charge read.
“On July 30, 2025, at around 0645 hours in Nairobi within Nairobi County, you were found at the reception area of the 24th floor of Bunge Towers without unlawful authority,” part of the charge sheet read.
Appearing before Milimani Principal Magistrate Ben Mark Ekhubi on Friday, August 8, 2025, Kidero pleaded with the court to forgive him for his actions.
“I want to ask for forgiveness, I’m very sorry for “kuingia kwa bunge sikutaka kuingia bunge na njia mbaya so I am sorry,” Kidero told the court.
Looking for his wives
Magistrate Ekhubi then asked him what he had gone to do at Bunge Towers, and in his reply, he said that he was looking for his wives at the August house.
Further, the respondent (Kidero) told the court three of the said wives’ names, adding that the remaining 10 were in court, sending the court into a burst of laughter.
“Nilikua nimeenda kutafuta mabibi zangu, I have 13 wives and one is called Wambui, Amberay Miss Njagi na the others wanajijua wako hapa ndani,” Kidero told the court.
Kidero added that it is not a must for him to tell the court the name of the other 10 wives.
Despite the court papers showing that Kidero accessed Bunge Towers twice, he told court that he had accessed the place three times.
Notably, as Magistrate Ekhubi was issuing directions to the DPP, Kidero interrupted, telling him, “Actually, you are very handsome,” sending the court attendees into loud laughter.
Magistrate Ekhubi directed the state to arrange for a mental checkup and also for him to be treated after it emerged that he had injuries that he got when he was trying to access Bunge Towers through the fence.
The case will be mentioned on August 21, 2025.
