A man who was in a coma for one year has finally wedded his lover. Stephen Njoroge, 52, tied the knot with Margaret Wambui, 50, at a colourful ceremony at St Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Kirigiti, Kiambu last Saturday.

Njoroge, who was an alcoholic, was hit by a speeding vehicle when crossing the busy Kiambu road in December 2014. He was rushed to Kenyatta National Hospital, where he spent a year at the Intensive Care Unit.
