Nairobi Governor Sonko Gifts Adopted Son Brand New Mercedes Benz on His 19th Birthday

Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko gifted his adopted son, Gift Osinya, a brand new luxury car as he turned 19 on Sunday.

Sonko shared a video on Facebook of his son driving off the convertible Mercedes Benz, believed to be worth millions of shillings.

"I can remember your moment of tears during the first difficult days you joined us as a family, but today I tell the rest of the world that the devil is a liar and God wiped your tears with abundant happiness and love. Osinya you are a gift of blessing as part of our family. May you be gifted with life's biggest joy. Thanks for being a wonderful son to us. We are so fortunate to have a fantastic son like you," Sonko wrote on Facebook.

Sonko adopted Gift in 2015 alongside his younger brother Satrine Osinya after they miraculously survived a terror attack in 2014.

Their mother was killed during the attack where terrorists stormed Joy Jesus Church in Likoni, Mombasa, and shot worshippers indiscriminately. Six people died in the raid.

Satrine, who was 18-months-old at the time, was left with a bullet lodged in his head and had to undergo an operation at Kenyatta National Hospital to remove it.
