Irma Sakwa, the mother and manager of Kenyan rapper Trio Mio has come forward to voice her deep concerns about her son's safety.
This comes after the rapper received alarming death threats on social media. Irma took to her own social media account to share a screenshot of a menacing tweet that had been sent out to Trio Mio. One of the threats was posted on Twitter on Wednesday, May 31.
Two unidentified individuals issued threats against the ' cheza kama wewe' hitmaker. The tweet also contained a video in which the two young men are heard hurling expletives and threatening Trio Mio.
"Trio Mio we will kill you. Mbona utuibie pesa ya mchango. Tunakuua atuogopi," the message read.
Recognizing the seriousness of the situation, she called upon the intervention of the Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) to thoroughly investigate the matter and ensure her son's safety.
She firmly condemned the actions of these individuals, deeming their behavior a joke that had crossed a dangerous line.
"This is not funny at all. Not long ago, my son got mugged at gunpoint; we have yet to get over the trauma. Then this? DCI, have you seen this? As a parent, I humbly request for action to be taken against these characters! My heart isn't at peace. May God protect my child."
