"I followed the matter up, telling my brother to bring back my wife, but he refused. However, I will never give up on my wife. If this continues, I will even go to the local authorities to solve our problem," the Kenyan father told Afrimax English.

The 56-year-old said his brother always denied snatching away Farida despite rumours they are always seen together.

The brother keeps moving from town to town when he realises his elder brother might know his whereabouts.

Kenyan woman on why she left her hubby

Farida, a former businesswoman, claimed her husband, Muyeho, was mistreating her.

"He was violent. He could beat me each and every time he came from work. He was a gatekeeper and would come back home in the morning having smoked and drunk. He almost killed me, but I survived, as he assumed I cheated on him.
He burned me and broke my arm. That is why I am physically challenged. We could sleep hungry except when I could try my best and find what to eat. He was an irresponsible man," the mum of seven said.
