According to sources, the flamboyant lawyer, who recently went through a messy breakup with Cebbie, had sent a team of friends to her rural home in Siaya County to collect the dowry he had paid during their short-lived marriage. However, the visit did not go as smoothly as expected.
Witnesses say the in-laws refused to release the dowry, insisting that they would only deal directly with Ogolla himself.
They made it clear that the dowry refund was a serious traditional process that could not be handled by representatives.
The situation reportedly turned tense, forcing Ogolla’s team to leave the compound in a hurry to avoid further embarrassment.
Neighbours who witnessed the event described it as chaotic, with some saying it was a moment of “public shame” for the group that had come to collect the payment.
One of Ogolla’s close friends, identified as Jarutha on Facebook, had earlier posted photos showing the team at Cebbie’s home, ready for the ceremony.
The post quickly went viral as netizens waited to see how the event would unfold.
However, a few hours later, reports emerged that the in-laws had chased away the team, demanding that Ogolla must appear in person if he wanted his dowry back.
The incident has sparked wide discussion on social media, with many Kenyans debating whether a man should personally attend a dowry refund or if he can send representatives.
Others viewed the drama as another episode in the ongoing public fallout between Steve Ogolla and Cebbie Koks, whose marriage ended less than a year after a lavish traditional wedding.
