Drama unfolded during the burial of the late comedian and brother to Eric Omondi, Fred Omondi, as one of their family members threatened to beat up a lady claiming to be Fred’s baby mama.
Eric Omondi’s relative was captured in a video on Saturday, June 29, during the burial ceremony held in Ugenya, Siaya County, threatening to beat up the unidentified lady.
In the video seen by The Kenya Times, the visibly agitated relative to Eric explained the reason behind her threats, saying that the said lady was claiming to have sired a child with the late Fred.
According to the relative, the said lady had camped at their rural home for about a week since Fred’s death, consistently maintaining her baby mama claims.
The relative further explained that she had just jetted back into the country a day earlier for the funeral only to hear about the allegations.

In her narration, she said that the family had asked the lady to bring the alleged child to the burial ceremony even providing transport money for her, which she didn’t.
“I jetted into the country yesterday from Europe only to arrive and hear about someone claiming to be Fred’s wife and that she has a child with him. I just saw this lady here today, if she has a child with our late brother, she could have brought the child here.
We gave her fare to bring the child which she hasn’t. If it is indeed true that she sired a child with Fred, the child was supposed to attend the father’s burial,” she said.

“She will not take advantage in our home, where is the child? The child is the one supposed to be present during their’ father’s burial. The lady seems to be just after clout chasing, I will beat her up. We are currently going through much pain, and she should not come to seek social media views at our home,” she added.
