Kenyans on social media have expressed concern and curiosity over a post by social media influencer Kevin Mboya.
Mboya had posted a tweet about how he was planning to surprise his girlfriend on her birthday by visiting her in Kwale county on Thursday, January 26.
He said he had not contacted his girlfriend but had travelled from Nairobi to deliver flowers and celebrate her special day.
He also posted photos of the bouquet, which went viral on Twitter with over 1.5 million views.
“I have travelled all the way from Nairobi to Kwale to come and surprise my girlfriend on her birthday.
“I haven't texted or called her in the last 24hrs, she maybe thinks I forgot it's her birthday. I am waiting for her just outside her office to surprise her. I hope it goes well,” he captioned the images.
His romantic gesture won the hearts of many Kenyans who became curious to know how the surprise went down.
However, more than 24 hours later, Mboya had not posted any updates or additional content on his Twitter, leaving many Kenyans wondering what transpired after.
Netizens, including celebrities, camped in the comment section prodding and waiting for any more information about his romantic escapade.
On the other hand, a section of netizens claimed that Mboya had made up the story to attract attention on social media.
