It’s coming to four years since NTV news anchor, Gabriel Epenu last appeared on our screens, after he got involved in a life-threatening accident.
Over that period, many have forgotten about him but not singer Irene Namubiru who, at the time of the accident, was dating Epenu.
Unfortunately, the artiste was not in the country when the accident happened; she was in Japan where she had been arrested for drug trafficking.
Fortunately, she survived the hang man’s noose while there and returned to the country safely. But even then, Epenu’s relatives did not allow Namubiru visit her boyfriend in hospital.
In an interview with NTV last month, Namubiru said she would sneak into the hospital at night when everyone is asleep and check on him.
But that was then. At the moment, she doesn’t need to sneak to see her man, if we are to go by the latest developments.
The two have secretly been meeting for the past days, according to one of Epenu’s friends.
Epenu’s condition improved over a year back though he is yet to make his much anticipated appearance on TV.
