Kenyan actor Abel Amunga says his daughter Ruth Matete was left behind by her mum at 9 months.

This was after she eloped with someone else.

Speaking during an interview with Robert Burale on the show ' Oh Men'  the veteran actor shared:

''My wife is in heaven.

When my daughter was born she was with her mum for a few years before I took her.

I got her out of wedlock with my high school sweetheart. But she eloped with someone else when my daughter was 9 months. At the time I was in Nairobi trying to do odd jobs.

From what she told me, her elder sister told her that I would never marry her yet I had planned to do so, she was my first love.

That was my first disappointment but it also led me to Christ.

I even joined boxing to let out my frustrations. ''Amunga shared

Amunga further added that at some point, his baby mama passed away.

''At some point the relationship between my ex and her husband became toxic and they turned my daughter into their househelp.

I was not very comfortable so I took my daughter, 

A few months after that I heard she was expectant with the man's third child. During one of their fights, the man hit her on the tummy.

She had a stillbirth and was admitted to the hospital but she never made it.''
