Dola was incarcerated after he was named as the main suspect in the murder of his wife, Wambui Kabiru, a former NTV journalist. His case is yet to be concluded.
Speaking about life in prison, Dola said: “It is not easy.

And there is no communication with the outside world, you are in a mental torture zone.”
He added: “Prison life is not what you can expect. You leave and you have a tag. Through out my time in prison I got to nurture their talent and when they did their time and got out, we teamed up. There are no jobs and we have to stay clear off a life of crime.”
