Sarah Mtalii Court Allegations Rock Bonfire Adventures
Businesswoman Sarah Mtalii (formerly Sarah Njoki) has filed explosive court documents alleging that her estranged husband, Simon Kabu, CEO of Bonfire Adventures, concealed the existence of his daughter Maureen from her for 15 years—only revealing her in April 2022 when the girl eloped with him to Amboseli with their two children (The Standard, waza.co.ke).
Allegations on Maureen’s Paternity
Sarah claims there is no DNA confirmation that Maureen is Simon’s biological daughter and goes as far as calling their actions “incestuous conduct”—serious claims even in court documents (sauce.co.ke, waza.co.ke).
Timeline of Public Fallout
- In April 2022, Sarah discovered Maureen during a trip Simon took with her and their children—without her consent (waza.co.ke, The Standard).
- Sarah publicly exposed her frustration over Simon moving on with another woman and announced she was “done” with the marriage.
Broader Legal and Business Battle
The feud escalated with additional allegations:
- Sarah accuses Simon of mismanaging Bonfire Adventures, funneling clients to a new business, and committing gender-based violence and domestic abuse (waza.co.ke, The Standard).
- Simon countersued for defamation, seeking a public apology and damages. He maintains the claims are baseless and malign his reputation (sauce.co.ke).
Business Origins and Ownership Dispute
Bonfire Adventures—a tourist agency founded in 2007—has become a household name in Kenya.
- Simon claims the company started with initial funding of KSh 10,000 and office space courtesy of his brother, with his sister handling formal registration (TV47 Digital, Breaking Kenyan News).
- Sarah asserts she is the true founder and is now fully in charge of the company (TV47 Digital).
Legal Complications and Criminal Investigations
Recent developments include a summons by the DCI for Simon over an alleged threat to kill—issued in December 2024 as part of an ongoing investigation (Insider Bits News).
