Homeboyz Radio presenter Jakes Nyanjom melted hearts as he teamed up with his colleague Lotan to pull off a heartwarming surprise for his mother, Joyce Wa Gituro.
The duo orchestrated a clever ruse that initially left Joyce perplexed but ultimately led to joy and laughter.
The surprise began with a phone call to Joyce from someone claiming to be from Jakes' office, alleging that Jakes had been caught engaging in questionable behaviour near the premises.
Naturally concerned, Joyce questioned why the office hadn't taken charge of the situation directly.
