My name is Bernard, and at 63, I never imagined that the woman I had trusted for 34 years would secretly withdraw KSh 1.2 million from our retirement account.
Everything began when I noticed unusual bank transactions. My wife, Margaret, insisted she had transferred the money to help her younger sister expand a business.
But something did not add up.
The midnight visitor
One Saturday night, someone knocked loudly on our gate.
Standing outside was a frightened young man who introduced himself as a former employee of a local investment company.
He asked to speak to my wife.
When Margaret saw him, her face changed immediately.
The man explained that the company had collapsed and several investors were demanding their money.
That was when I discovered my wife had invested our savings in a scheme promising extraordinary monthly returns.
I was devastated.
The secret she could no longer hide
Earlier that week, a friend had introduced me to Dr Bokko, a traditional spiritual practitioner.
I had contacted him about our financial disagreements and participated in a ritual intended to encourage honesty and reconciliation.
After the visitor left, Margaret admitted that she had been hiding the investment because she feared my reaction.
She had initially received small payments before the company stopped responding.
We gathered the transaction records and reported the matter to the relevant authorities.
I also consulted a financial adviser to protect our remaining assets.
I cannot prove that Dr Bokko’s ritual influenced the visitor’s arrival or my wife’s confession.
However, seeking guidance encouraged me to confront the secrecy threatening our marriage.
Today, we are rebuilding our financial security while pursuing recovery through lawful channels.
The experience taught me that even long marriages require transparency, especially when retirement savings are involved.
