Social media personality Jahenda has officially broken her silence following a viral bathroom assault video that sparked massive public outrage across Kenya. Speaking out for the first time, Jahenda revealed that the humiliating ordeal left her deeply traumatized and scared, while expressing her immense gratitude to Kenyans for their overwhelming love and solidarity.
The disturbing footage, which surfaced over the weekend, shows a group of young women cornering, threatening, and physically assaulting Jahenda inside a Nairobi nightclub restroom.
Outrage Sparks Institutional Investigations and Public Protests
The viral video immediately triggered widespread condemnation from Kenyans online, including public figures and celebrities. The backlash quickly escalated into actionable demands for accountability from institutions connected to the alleged perpetrators:
After several of the women in the video were identified as students, Riara University issued an official statement condemning the off-campus violence and confirmed that a formal disciplinary process has been initiated under its Student Code of Conduct.
Following reports linking one of the involved individuals to the Redeemed Gospel Church (RGC) in Buruburu, a section of disgruntled youths staged a protest outside the church premises. The church administration subsequently released a statement denouncing bullying and clarifying that religious affiliation would not shield anyone from
legal accountability.
As the public heavily rejects subsequent apologies issued by some of the aggressors online, pressure continues to mount on investigative authorities to ensure legal justice is served for gender-based harassment.
