Daniel Wanyeki. 17 Years Behind Bars for a Crime He Never Committed

17 Years Behind Bars for a Crime He Never Committed

Seventeen years. That’s how long one man’s life was stolen — not by strangers, not by fate, but by the voices of those he loved most.

Daniel Wanyeki, a father, was sentenced to life in Kamiti Maximum Prison after his two young daughters accused him of defilement. The world turned against him. His name was dragged through the mud. His freedom vanished behind iron bars.

But the truth has a way of clawing its way to the surface.

In 2020, one of his daughters gathered the courage to stand before the court and confess: the accusations were a lie. They had been coached by relatives who wanted Daniel out of the picture — so they could seize a family estate worth more than Sh50 million. Greed had shattered a family, leaving a father to waste away in prison for nearly two decades.

Last week Wednesday, a Thika court declared Daniel free at last. His daughter Hannah wept as she begged forgiveness: “We were just children and didn’t understand. I hope my dad forgives us. These 17 years have been painful for everyone.”

Now almost 60, Daniel walks back into a world that moved on without him. He carries no riches, no stolen years — only the fragile hope of rebuilding what little remains.

Seventeen years stolen. A lifetime scarred. Yet Daniel steps out of the shadows not as a criminal, but as a man proven innocent.

Thank You Jesus,

Salvation Prayers

If you don’t Know Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour and would like to accept him into your life as your personal Lord and Saviour, Please say this prayer:

Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from You. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward You. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that Your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your Will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.
