Angry Oga Obinna Addresses Claims He 'Ate' Kimani Mbugua's Money

YouTuber Oga Obinna has addressed claims made by Kimani Mbugua that he is withholding Ksh 50,000 contributed by fans.
The accusations surfaced weeks after the former radio presenter promised to offer Kimani a job following his discharge from a rehab center in Mombasa.
Taking to his social media, Obinna shared his perspective on the situation:
"From the look of things, Kimani might not be back 100%. There may be a relapse that comes and goes. I do not appreciate the bashing he is getting. Let's stop insulting him. He is our brother; let’s wait and see what happens. His dad texted me, telling me that Kimani asked him to stay away. We still have Ksh 100K left. The signatories are Kimani's father and I. We decided that by the end of January, we would pay his rent for six months. When Kimani came to my show after leaving rehab, people sent him money, but it was sent to his sister, not to me."
Obinna further added, "Let’s be kind to him and treat him with respect. Insults are not helpful. We should not be hard on him—he needs us more than he knows. I don’t know about the Ksh 50,000 he's referring to. The money we raised was more than that and we used it to support Kimani Mbugua and journalist Eunice Omollo. I think we let him out too soon. Let’s wait and see how things unfold. Keep him in your prayers, as well as others battling mental health."

liz.jimmy: Continue,I think if you give up his dad will also feel like giving up,you really support him and Daddy is always greatful,, and more prayers and may healing be his portion this year.
babakaunty: We mean well and our bro Kimani , let's support him
gertys83: Huyo 254 anakuanga hivyo tushaa mzoea
iamshaolinmonk: Add some prayers ❤️... my wife was in the same situation 🙏.. ilibidi nitafute Maombi .. juu dawa ilikuwa inawork kwa mda tu after 1 month it starts .. #Bipolar
zullypepe: Bossie if you decide to continue helping him u are a better person than alot of pple outside here also ukiamua otherwise we understand but he needs more help he's not well 👌#mensmentalhealthawareness. Might it be that Kimani needs therapy more to rehabilitation? People suppress pain in different ways, addiction could be a symptom of a deeper issue.
michaelouma32: You might be sorting the drug issues but not the problems stressing him out
itsmssuzzy: Unless an addict is doing rehab and reconstructing on his own the rest of the effort is meaningless. Joyce Meyer and her family spent so much money and time trying to help her brother and in the end he went right back to his drugs and lost his life. You have done your best.
annknjeru: Too much justification allows people to question your credibility hope you learn from that.
Kimani Mbugua was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2020. He had previously co-hosted The Trend on NTV alongside Larry Madowo and later hosted a show on Citizen TV.
