The bitter divorce between the two was sealed on January 8 by Milimani Commercial Courts Chief Magistrate, who authorized the divorce, describing the marriage as ‘irretrievably broken down’ as he annulled it on ‘grounds of cruelty’.
According to court documents referenced by Standard-owned publication, The Nairobian, the divorce was initiated by Sam Shollei on September 6, 2019, who told the court the couple had been living apart for four years.Boss did not appear in court to file a defence and the divorce was approved within four months of the papers being filed.
