According to Kenya's Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), Solomon, who also goes by Big Papa, once stole a car from the Democratic Republic of Congo and gifted it to a Ugandan TV host.
"In Uganda, he is believed to have previously gifted a TV host a sleek automobile, that was later discovered to have been stolen from Congo DRC by Ugandan authorities," DCI said in a Wednesday statement.
The only Ugandan TV host that's known to have dated Don Solomon is Totto, real name Zahara Nalumansi.
They broke up in 2020 after Totto, who works with Next Media, claimed he was cheating on her and Papa said she had become disrespectful, among other things.
