Kenyan Socialite Pesh Released from Jail in Ghana After Seven Years

Kenyan Socialite Pesh Released from Jail in Ghana After Seven Years

Kenyan socialite Peninah Lema Munyithya, alias Pesh, appears to have been released from jail in Ghana if the recent activity on her social media page is anything to go by.

Pesh, who was arrested in Ghana in 2015 for drug trafficking, recently changed her Facebook profile picture and made her first posts in seven years.

"Positivity should always drive you," wrote.

The socialite also shared a video of herself dancing to a song as she enjoyed her newfound freedom.

Before her latest posts, Pesh was last active on Facebook on July 29, 2015, when she announced she was at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) en route to Ghana for a holiday.

Pesh, who rose to fame online in 2015 after her lewd photos leaked, was arrested at an airport in Ghana for trafficking drugs.

The following year, she was found guilty of drug trafficking and subsequently sentenced to 10 years in prison, but it appears she was set free after serving seven years.

It is alleged that her Nigerian boyfriend put the drugs in her luggage without her knowledge.

At the time of her arrest, the socialite was still a student at Mount Kenya University pursuing a degree in Project Management.

    What's the meaning of socialite?
    Comrade Maxiley, please educate me on this one before I comment.

    @ Comrade Kora Kanini, I think our sisters,or should I say Kenyans,have come to losely interpret that term to mean any person especially women who flaunt their stuff... Let's take the meaning as a person who is well known in fashionable society,and is fond of social activities,and enternement.See how meaningless that is? It could be applied to alot of fellows. Comrade, we have borrowed a term that does not fit in our society.Think of hollywood and that's socialite.What say you.

    To me most African socialites are just prostitutes in way. Call a spade a spade not a big spoon.

    Do not feel sorry for her. She will find employment within the current government the minute she lands in Kenya. No vetting here!!!!!!!!! It is full of former fraudsters. She will fit right in.

    At least Ghanas DDP and judiciary cannot be swayed by cash and kind.
