Roslyn Ashanti: Woman appeals to mother over poisoning claims

Roslyn Ashanti

A woman claiming to have information about Mombasa businesswoman Roslyn Ashanti has made a direct appeal to her mother, offering to share what she knows about the circumstances surrounding her daughter’s suspected poisoning.

In a video circulating online, the woman urges Roslyn’s mother to contact her and arrange a meeting in the presence of witnesses, promising that she will not demand payment for the information.

“Mama nitafute, I know Chuna very well,” she says, referring to Roslyn by her popular nickname, Chuna Baby.

The appeal has introduced a new development in the case of the Mombasa entrepreneur, who reportedly collapsed during her birthday celebration on February 14, 2026, triggering a medical crisis that has since left her requiring extensive care.

Although the woman makes serious allegations about what may have happened at the gathering, she does not publicly identify the alleged perpetrators or provide evidence establishing that she witnessed the incident.

Her appeal therefore raises a new question for Roslyn’s family: What information does the woman possess, and can it help establish what happened to the businesswoman?

Woman claims inside knowledge

In the recording, the woman describes Roslyn as someone she knew personally and recalls her financial success before the reported medical emergency.

“Chuna alikuwa msichana mwenye hela yake,” she says, describing the entrepreneur as a woman who had established herself financially.

She also mentions Roslyn’s involvement in property rentals and Airbnb businesses, portraying her as someone who had built a successful business life.

The woman then makes a disturbing allegation about the people who allegedly surrounded the entrepreneur.

“Marafiki wamemtenda, wamempoison sumu, wamemfanya hivi,” she claims.

She goes further, alleging that individuals gathered and planned to put a poisonous substance in Roslyn’s alcoholic drink.

“Venyewe waliketi, wakapanga, wakajikusanya, wakamwekea sumu kwenye kileo chake,” she says.

However, the recording does not explain whether the woman personally witnessed the alleged planning, heard about it from someone else or obtained the information through another source.

She also does not identify the people she accuses or provide publicly verifiable evidence supporting her account.

Consequently, her statements remain allegations and should not be treated as proof of a poisoning conspiracy.

Offers meeting with witnesses

The woman’s most direct appeal is addressed to Roslyn’s mother, whom she repeatedly asks to contact her.

“Mamake Chuna, naomba unitafute, maanake mwanawe namjua vizuri sana,” she says.

She then makes an unusual offer, promising to share the information without charging the family.

“Nitafute ukiwa na mashahidi sitokulipisha,” she adds.

Translated, she is asking Roslyn’s mother to meet her with witnesses present and assuring her that she will not demand payment.

The offer raises several important questions.

Why has the woman decided to speak publicly now? Has she previously communicated with Roslyn’s family? Does she possess firsthand information about the birthday gathering, or is she relying on accounts from other people?

It is also unclear whether she has approached investigators or is prepared to provide a formal statement.

Her reference to meeting in the presence of witnesses could provide an opportunity for the family to establish exactly what she claims to know and assess whether her information can be independently corroborated.

Makes strong declaration

The woman also expresses anger over Roslyn’s reported condition, making a declaration directed at whoever she believes may have caused her suffering.

“Yeyote aliyemsababishia Chuna baby, she will pay that, I promise you,” she says.

Her remarks reflect the seriousness of the allegations she is making, although they do not establish that any particular individual was responsible for Roslyn’s medical emergency.

The woman’s identity, precise relationship with Roslyn and basis of knowledge have not been independently established.

It also remains unclear whether the family has responded to her appeal.

Questions remain unanswered

Roslyn’s reported medical crisis began on February 14, 2026, when she collapsed during her birthday celebration in Mombasa.

Accounts subsequently shared about her ordeal indicated that doctors suspected poisoning. She was reportedly admitted to intensive care and suffered severe brain damage.

Further accounts have described her as unable to speak, walk, see or eat independently, leaving her dependent on her mother for daily assistance.

However, publicly available information does not include independently verified medical records establishing the substance allegedly involved, the precise diagnosis or the full circumstances surrounding her collapse.

Reports have also indicated that the family lodged a complaint with authorities over suspected attempted murder. The current status of that complaint and any investigative findings have not been independently established.

The woman’s latest appeal now presents a potential avenue for further information, but its significance will depend on whether she can substantiate her claims.

Did she witness anything at the birthday celebration? Can she provide names, dates, communications or other evidence? Has she already shared her information with the authorities?

These are questions that require answers before her allegations can be treated as a credible breakthrough.

For Roslyn’s family, the priority remains understanding what happened during the birthday celebration and obtaining accountability through verifiable evidence.

Until the woman provides further details and her claims are independently examined, her public appeal remains an unverified offer of information in a case whose central circumstances are still unresolved.
