The Nova Play Team is here to dispel the rumors and clarify the real story behind the recent detainment of ex-NTV host, Robin Kisti. Brushing aside the chatter, we can confirm that Kisti’s arrest wasn’t primarily due to drug possession. Instead, it was sparked by a fiery row with her neighbor over an outstanding bill for clothing.
An inside source with first-hand knowledge of the situation has provided us with a clear account, debunking earlier errors that pointed to drug-related offenses as the main driver for Kisti’s arrest. According to the insider, the bone of contention was a purchase of women’s wear worth Shs 300,000 that Kisti made from her neighbor, who had sourced the garments from Dubai.
The disagreement took a nasty turn when Kisti, upon being asked to clear her debt, reportedly took an aggressive position. She contended that her status as a public figure granted her immunity from such requests. “Robin felt that money issues shouldn’t be pushed onto her,” the source explained. “She and her partner allegedly trespassed by leaping over the neighbor’s gate, they attacked the neighbor, and assaulted her to the point of causing a blood clot, which necessitated hospitalization.”
The victim shouldered her medical bills and was subsequently released. However, the legal tension between the two women continued for over a month. Kisti allegedly offered to compensate Shs 7 million, but was only able to muster Shs 300,000 for bail.
“Instead of showing regret, Robin kept heaping verbal abuse on the neighbor,” the source continued. “Eventually, the police were called. They found her using marijuana, but the main trigger for her arrest was the assault and continuous harassment, not the drug consumption.”
Adding a twist to the story, the source also claimed that Kisti and her partner stole the neighbor’s business idea to launch their own brand of cooking oil, a move that only inflamed the discord.
Initially, the police intended to arrest Kisti based solely on assault charges. However, the discovery of marijuana during the arrest proceedings complicated matters. Nonetheless, the insider emphasized that the drug possession was a secondary factor leading to her arrest, not the primary one.
