Margaret Nduta was found guilty of drug trafficking and sentenced to death in Vietnam in March 2025 .

She received a last-minute stay of execution when the Kenyan government lodged an appeal.

A post shared on TikTok claims to show former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko in Vietnam where he was purportedly negotiating her release.

But the claim is false; Sonko denied being on a mercy mission to Vietnam and clarified that the people he is shown with in the video are Chinese investors he met at his office.
