Couple Sammy Githae aka Blackie and his wife Virginia Njeri are back to the streets again. The two became internet sensations after a local photographer called Muchiri, shared transformation photos of them after a Valentine's shoot back in 2018.

She took to social media to brand the KTN journalist who reported the story as a liar and her message read:

I don't like lies by KTN JOURNALIST the street couple went for the holiday NA photos ziko online... we paid 6months rent and gave them cash to start a biz. I don't know what else they want we cant feed them forever! They were also given a job at Kericho and they turned down the offer.

Githeri man was ever drunk and his voucher is still open. From now henceforth let me not see anyone tagging me in a post to give a holiday to anyone being celebrated online... everyone knows we keep our word. all photos online.

The couple currently lives in Nairobi's CBD streets and not so long ago, Virginia was arrested alongside other street urchins and taken to a popular police station.
