Daddie Marto Apologizes For Public Fallout With Wife Koku Lwanga

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Kenyan actor and media personality Daddie Marto has issued a heartfelt apology for the recent online dispute with his wife, Koku Lwanga, vowing to end the public clash and focus on protecting his family. The apology comes after a string of emotionally charged social media posts from both parties, which had drawn significant public attention and debate.

In a statement posted on his official Instagram account on Friday, Marto revealed that his decision to end the online exchange came after deep introspection and consultations with family and elders.

“I am sorry for the ugliness of everything playing out online,” Marto wrote, adding that he was “angry, frustrated, and I broke.”

He acknowledged that his actions were a human response to reaching his limits.

Marto’s apology signals a shift from public defense to a more private approach, emphasizing his commitment to his family’s well-being. He also introduced a spiritual dimension to his reflection, claiming he had “failed my family” by not adequately praying against spiritual attacks. He linked his past struggles to this perceived spiritual oversight, citing a ‘Divine Master’ who, according to Marto, had negatively impacted their marriage.

In a concluding message, Marto called on other men to learn from his experience. “Men!! Take care of your homes physically, financially, mentally, physiologically and spiritually,” he urged, stressing the need for spiritual protection against both internal and external battles. Marto’s statement marks a clear attempt to end the public feud and move forward with a renewed focus on his family’s well-being.

“She denied me sex” Daddie Marto opens up about his marital woes

Posted on by Ozymandias

Daddie Marto has been opening up about his marital woes that led to him deciding to end his marriage to Koku Lwanga and it would seem married men really do suffer in silence.

Attention was sensationally called to the breakdown of their marriage when Koku took to social media to sensationally accuse Martin Githinji of being an abusinve husband – a claim that she neither provided evidence for nor was called upon to substantiate. And for a while this was the predominant narrative as Daddie Marto chose to be silent.

But now that he is finally talking about the drama, he has decided to lay it all bare and what he has said has shocked and divided the internet with many either siding with him as they shake a weary, knowing head or they take up with Koku and her female perspective.

He has sensationally revealed that the reason his marriage failed was that for a very long time, his wife denied him his conjugal rights… Check out his recent social media statements below:

For 6 years in the 9 years we were together, I suffered intense emotional abuse. I walked on egg shells with someone who chose to transfer their wounds to me. We did videos on YouTube, spoke about these wounds. Talked to them to find ways to heal. They feigned control over them. I gave up. And it is when I had given up what she started feeling that I have emotionally abandoned them.
This was me doing everything I could to survive and keep things intact. This is something that a lot of men do. Your spouse is horrible, vindictive, mean and unappreciative? Your spouse sucks the joy out of you with everything you do even with the best-intentioned ones? Vumilia bro. You are doing it for the children. Your legacy. Let your children grow up in a 2 parent home.

 

And now I will touch on the forbidden subject. Physical intimacy. It was non existent in the marriage. You wonder how we got pregnant. With the underlying medical condition we have spoken about before. This was truly the act of God to get those children.
All reasons given were valid. Postpartum. Health. Moods. Conflict. And in all the reasons, I sympathized. I gave her space to heal. I even subjected myself to a test to see if I was responsible for her health issues. And it was discovered that I was not the cause. We discovered the cause, it was rectified, and that is how we got the second born. We have told this story before, I will not dwell.

Daddie Marto Breaks Silence on Separation from Koku Lwanga, Addresses Allegations and Sets the Record Straight

Posted on by Ozymandias

Renowned Kenyan actor and media personality Martin Githinji, popularly known as Daddie Marto, has spoken publicly for the first time about his separation from long-time partner Koku Lwanga, addressing months of speculation and online scrutiny.

In a detailed and heartfelt statement, Marto outlined the timeline of their breakup, reaffirmed his continued role as a father, and directly responded to allegations that have impacted both his personal life and career.

Clarifying the Timeline: “This Is Documented”

Marto revealed that the couple parted ways in December 2024, initially hoping to reconcile. However, by March 2025, they agreed that the relationship had ended. He moved out of their shared home the following month but remained actively involved in the children’s lives to ensure minimal disruption to their routine.

By May 2025, they had drafted a joint statement regarding the separation, intending to share it publicly at an appropriate time.

“This is documented. We were no longer together, in both words and actions. This is a fact, not wishful thinking,” Marto emphasized, addressing claims of ambiguity around the separation.

Addressing Financial Allegations: “I Never Abandoned My Responsibilities”

Marto dismissed accusations that he had neglected his family obligations, detailing the financial support he has consistently provided.

He cited receipts, bank statements, and mobile money records to show that he continued to cover household expenses, school fees, medical insurance, and utility bills even after moving out.

Marto also disclosed that he paused work in July 2024 to help Koku complete her mother’s house in Kerugoya, a project he supported emotionally and financially until November.

“When the available funds ran out, I took a loan to finish it, hoping to recover once back to work. I unfortunately still carry that financial debt to date,” he noted.

On Rent Contributions and Household Dynamics

In March 2025, Marto says Koku offered to assist financially by paying the nanny and contributing to a loan. He requested instead that her contribution go towards household expenses, prioritizing their children’s well-being.

After moving out, Marto explained that her financial support shifted toward paying rent, as he was now supporting two households.

“There have been suggestions that there was coercion into paying rent. That is not accurate, and the full record is available,” he clarified.

The Incident and Ongoing Police Investigation

Marto addressed a physical altercation at his home, one of the most contentious issues surrounding their separation.

He described being confronted at his door while with a friend and said he recorded the exchange, a practice he had adopted in therapy. The situation escalated, leading to a physical injury to his eye.

Marto insisted there had been no prior violence in their relationship and confirmed that the incident is now under police investigation.

“Since that night, I have been portrayed in ways that suggest I am violent, abusive, manipulative, and irresponsible. Nothing could be further from the truth,” he said.

Legal Action and Commitment to Co-Parenting

In response to online attacks and alleged defamation, Marto revealed he has initiated legal proceedings through his lawyers, seeking to resolve matters respectfully and through proper channels.

“I take full responsibility for my part, but I will not carry what is not mine. That is not healing; that is self-erasure,” he said.

Marto concluded by affirming his commitment to co-parenting with dignity and shielding his children from public drama.

“My children’s peace comes first. I will continue to do my part as a father and strive to move forward with dignity and integrity.”

Marto’s statement comes amid a broader conversation about personal accountability, public image, and the challenges of navigating private matters in the public eye. His decision to address the situation publicly signals a desire for closure and a commitment to protecting his family’s well-being.

Daddie Marto Responds to Abuse Allegations in Public Statement

Posted on by Ozymandias

Kenyan actor and media personality Martin Githinji, popularly known as Daddie Marto, has issued a public statement in response to explosive allegations levelled against him on social media earlier this week.

The allegations, shared by his wife, described a deeply disturbing incident of physical assault, emotional abuse, and betrayal. The online post, which went viral, painted a grim picture of their relationship and drew widespread public attention and concern.

In a statement released Monday morning, Githinji strongly denied the allegations, calling them “false and harmful” and “a significantly distorted and one-sided picture of events.”

“First and foremost, I want to state unequivocally: I do not condone violence of any kind – physical, emotional, or psychological,” he said.

While acknowledging the seriousness of the matter, Githinji maintained that key context had been omitted from the viral account. He indicated that evidence exists which would offer a “more complete and accurate picture” but stopped short of sharing details, citing respect for legal processes and the privacy of those involved.

“Rather than engage in public confrontations, I believe it is essential to allow the appropriate channels to handle this matter thoroughly, fairly, and with the dignity it deserves,” he added.

Githinji revealed that he is fully cooperating with legal authorities and has sought redress to ensure both his safety and that of others impacted. He emphasized that while the matter is painful—particularly because children are involved—he will not allow “the rewriting of history through slander and public harassment.”

As public discourse around the incident continues to gain traction, the actor called for restraint and compassion from the public.

“To those who know me, have worked with me, or supported me over the years, I sincerely thank you for your patience and continued trust… I am committed to navigating this challenging period with integrity, dignity, and respect for all.”

The unfolding situation has divided online opinion, with some rallying in support of the alleged victim, while others urge caution until the full facts are established through legal and due process.

As of now, no legal charges have been made public, and further developments are awaited. Both parties have indicated a preference for handling the matter through official channels, though the public fallout continues to intensify.

This remains a developing story.
