Jackline Mbala Cholo, the alleged runaway bride has resurfaced with shocking revelations. The 40--year-old preacher has exclusively revealed to The Nairobian that she is a happily married woman and mother.

Jackline hit the headlines on May 29 after Pastor Justin Mugambi lamented how his wife--to-be had vanished days before their wedding which was to take place at his church in Embu on May 28.

Jackline now claims she is a married woman and that Mugambi wanted to forcefully marry her.

According to details of a marriage certificate dated June 2004 and obtained by The Nairobian, Jackline tied the knot 12 years ago with Francis Kimani Njogu, 65, at Christian Church International in Thika. The couple is blessed with two children.

According to Jackline, Mugambi is aware of her marital status and has in fact visited their home in Githurai with threats to injure her husband. The matter was allegedly reported at Ruiru Police Station.

When the wedding flopped, Jackline claims Mugambi obtained a fake wedding certificate to tarnish her name and sabotage her ministry. She alleges that Mugambi announced their wedding without her consent.

She adds that she didn't develop cold feet days to their wedding but "had travelled to Tanzania on a mission that was to run from May 22 to June 5." She narrated that, "Later I started receiving numerous calls from people wondering why I had gone missing just days to my wedding to Mugambi. These allegations are untrue and Mugambi just wanted to tarnish my name."

Jackline who met Mugambi in Embu at a preachers' conference in 2012, further claims that they exchanged contacts since they were worshipping together.

Days later, she claims Mugambi started texting and calling her, initially for sexual favours and later proposed to her.

"He was obsessed with me and I had to report him to Bishop Ayub Mureithi in 2014, who promised to look into the mater," Jackline said,

"After some time, I was shocked when a bishop who knew my marital status, asked me to marry Mugambi. The bishop knew of the normal disagreements I had with my husband like any other couple, which have since been resolved."

Some of the screenshots and chain messages Mugambi allegedly sent to Jackline on May 29 and captured by The Nairobian warned Jackline that her reputation will be damaged in the media.

"May dear anza utoke mahali uko coz hakuna haja uanze kutangazwa kwa TV na redio maana process inaendelea, tena hakuna haja utafutwe na serikali na ushitakiwe coz ndio process zinaendelea mpaka sasa. Mimi singetaka ushitakiwe lakini serikali ikikupata kwanza hauna uwezo wa kuwazuia," reads one of the texts.

This loosely translates to: "My dear just come out of your hiding to avoid embarrassing yourself in the media. There is no need to take this matter to court. I wouldn’t like you to be sued because you have no powers to stop the authorities."

When contacted Pastor Mugambi said he was not aware that Jackline was married until the day she vanished.
