Man who stormed Bunge Towers looking for his 13 wives tells court he is Ruto’s son
Nelson Ibrahim Kidero, alias Nelson Muriithi, a man who told the court that he entered Bunge Towers unlawfully looking for his 13 wives, has told the court that he is President William Ruto’s son.
Appearing before the Milimani Principal Magistrate Ben Mark Ekhubi on Thursday, September 25, 2025, for a mention of his case after the court had ordered him to be subjected to a mental check-up before pleading to charges lodged against him by the prosecution, Kidero left the court in surprise after claiming he is Ruto’s son.

Further, Kidero told the court that he and his mother helped Ruto to get to his current position, adding that he thinks there is a mistake going on in the August house.
“My mother is called Angeline Muriithi, so actually, there was a mistake. Mr William Samoie Ruto is my father; I helped him to become the president, and my mother is Angeline Muriithi, and he is supposed to be my father, so I think there is a mistake going on in the parliament,” Kidero stated in court.
He also told the court that he was the owner of the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) pension towers.
This prompted the magistrate to ask him to repeat what he had said, and in his response, he said, “Hio CBK towers unaona ni yangu,” Kidero stated in court.
Kidero also informed the court that he speaks good English because he schooled at Alliance High School.
Relatives
Magistrate Ekhubi then asked Kidero whether he had any relatives around: “Do you have any relatives around?” magistrate Ekhubi asked.
Kidero said, “Yeah, that lady there, the one who is wearing that blue sweater,” he told the court.
However, he did not point out the exact lady he was referring to, and there were several students in court who were in blue sweaters.
He informed the court that his mother was not yet in, adding that he was supposed to be driving a matatu called Opposite in Umoja.
Notably, Kidero told the court that he has no issue with anyone, and if at all he has wronged anyone in the country, he seeks forgiveness.
“I do not have any problem with anyone; in fact, if I have wronged anyone in the country, I apologise,” Kidero told the court.
On August 8, 2025, Kidero pleaded with the court to forgive him for his actions of trespassing into Bunge Towers.
Then, Magistrate Ekhubi 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, 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.
