Emara Ole Sereni Hotel finally issues statement on Ndichu twins drama

The management of the Emara Ole Sereni Hotel in Nairobi has finally broken its silence on a now viral video showing a scuffle that took place at the premises over the weekend.

The scuffle involved Wapi Pay co-founders Eddie and Paul Ndichu and unknown women, as seen in the video.

Emara Ole Sereni Group CEO Ghulam Samdani, in the statement released on Tuesday, said the hotel security managed to step in in time and contain the situation from escalating further.

Mr. Samdani also said the hotel manager informed the police of the incident, further adding that the establishment does not condone any such behavior as it is in the business of providing comfort.

“We are aware that there are some disturbing pictures and videos circulating online of an incident that occurred on 17th October, 2021 at the lobby of Emara Ole-Sereni Hotel…” said the CEO.

“At the outset, please note that we do not accept nor condone any such behavior as we have an obligation to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all our guests. While there was an incident, it is isolated and out of character for our operations.”

He added: “The hotel security intervened immediately to prevent further violence and the manager on duty promptly contacted the police, who took control of the matter. We are aware that no arrests were made and as such we have no further comment at this stage.”

Mr. Samdani stated that, as an establishment, it continues to put all measures in place to ensure such incidents do not occur in future.
