According to the nurse, Baha followed her on Instagram, liked her photos and moments later he sent her a message asking for a favour.

The actor claimed that he was in a tough financial situation and needed $450 to sort out some bills. He claimed that he had not paid his rent and was on the verge of eviction and the company he was working with had not paid him yet.

The multiple Messages got Judy curious and she sent his baby mama Georgina a message enquiring if everything was alright.

Georgina said they were okay and she had taken care of the bills. She however revealed that Tyler has a gambling problem and was borrowing money from people to bet and not take care of the family as he claimed.

Omosh, had also made headlines some years back after he was engulfed in bankruptcy and addiction. Kenyans even intervened for the actor and lobbied hundreds of thousands for him so as he could rebuild himself.

He then appealed for help again saying he couldn't move to the new house built for him, since there were no schools nearby for his children to attend.

Concerns were later brought up that the actor wass struggling with alcoholism, hence the mismanagement of more than a million shillings that he received.
