Curious Kenyans poke holes on Esther Arunga’s Twitter account causing confusion with forgiveness message

A Twitter user allegedly impersonating former TV girl Esther Arunga has caused mixed reactions among Kenyans after sending out a passionate forgiveness message, with pretense that it was Esther Arunga.

A Twitter account operating under the name @EstherArunga_ on Thursday fooled a section of Kenyans On Twitter(KOT), with a confession that it was Ms Arunga, asking for forgiveness from Kenyans before she jets back home.

The message reads: “Kenyans, forgive me. My parole is over & it’s time to come back home. I have suffered enough. No one should ever be ashamed of starting afresh. To everyone who wronged me, i forgive you all. Kindly accept me back”.

Kenyans, forgive me. My parole is over & it's time to come back home. I have suffered enough. No one should ever be ashamed of starting afresh. To everyone who wronged me, i forgive you all. Kindly accept me back.

Impersonation ALERT.

After doing some research I can confidently state that the person using twitter handle @EstherArunga_ with over 40k followers is not ex-KTN news anchor Esther Arunga. The account was created early this yr. The guy has also impersonated Jalango in the past. pic.twitter.com/olJETqSuQC

Honestly, let me hope it's our darling Esther Arunga who wrote that message. She should be forgiven unconditionally. At times, we men are bad. We take advantage of beautiful souls and do damage. I know she will rise again. Whatever happened, it's now behind us. Come on Esther.
