Girlfriend tried to kill him before

Okombe’s father Josephat Shitindo Okombe revealed that he advised his son to end relationship with his girlfriend after she attacked him in January.

Josephat says Maryanne Mumbi cut Okombe’s hand with a knife and caused an injury that kept him out of the national 15s team.
