Upcoming Kikuyu secular musician Maggie Sonnie has opened up how she lost loved ones in a grisly road accident but was kept in the dark about it for over 90 days.
In August 2007 Sonnie of the hit song “Hinguria Maitho” (Video Below) was admitted at Tumutumu Hospital after her six months pregnancy developed complications. Her hubby John Maina and brother Douglas Mwangi drove from Nairobi to see her but they never made.
