Ciku Muiruri has come out to accuse Ciru Muriuki of identity theft, the former claims that the latter is riding on her name and crying foul.
Ciku Muiruri and Ciru Muriuki have been confused so many times by the media when dispensing news about them, their two names sound alike but they are spelt differently.
Their personalities are also different, Ciku Muiruri name has been dragged in so many scandals while Ciru Muriuki has managed to steer clear of controversies. So many times Ciru has come out to clarify that she is not the person of interest whenever Ciku is the one being referred to.
Ciku has now thrown major shade at Ciru claiming that she is riding on her name while at the same time crying foul whenever she is mistaken for her.
“I did my first radio show in 1998. In my many, many, many, years on radio doing Busted etc I have used my name. On my newspaper columns, I have used my name. On my book #LoveisButADream and all my social media pages, I have used my name. Someone comes onto the scene many, many, many years later, has and uses a name similar to mine and now cries victim every time she is mistaken for me. A boss of ours – Pete Sinclair – actually refused her to use the name during her stint at Radio Africa and said she would be mistaken for me. She had no choice but to listen to him and use her English name. All was well. But alas, she then went on to join NTV where she disregarded his advice and went on use the name. Enter the case of mistaken identity that follows until this very day. And now, I am supposedly the bad guy because I need to watch what I tweet for her sake. Wait, what?,” wrote Ciku Muiruri in part.
Adding that;
“A friend of hers actually went on a morning TV show and said my ‘bad manners’ (??) are affecting her. What the actual hell? That’s the final straw for me. I refuse to be used as a punching bag when you found me here, minding my own business. If you want your brand to stand out, the first logical step is NOT to ride on someone else’s name and then cry foul when it no longer suits you. Reap the whirlwind.”
