Where is KTN’s Junior?
In a viral video, Easron Abraham Asmlash explained what he had been up to after flying under the radar for a while.
Junior was prompted to make a TikTok video after many people asked about his whereabouts.
“You have been asking a lot about me. I stopped acting because there is no money in the Nairobi film scene.
I want to thank bloggers who posted about me positively.”
According to Junior, some bloggers had claimed that he was dead.
“I am alive and I thank God. I dropped this video to clear the air. Those who said I died, may God help you.”
Junior shared his whereabouts and what he is up to.
“I am abroad, juggling school while working. Good vibes and inshallah.
This is my TikTok. I appreciate the fact that you are still showing me love.”
Junior then asked whether he should do YouTube videos or create content on TikTok, while fondly remembering when people would tune in to KTN on Sundays to watch the show.
Some Kenyans were amazed by how grown he is, while numerous ladies complimented his looks.

“Honestly, earnings from acting in Kanairo cannot make you hit your milestones. Let’s just speak the truth. Look at those actors, how many do you know are relaxing and enjoying their wealth? They are still grinding, right?”

Was Junior’s Baken caught stealing?
In other news, Junior’s former castmate Baken found himself in hot water after a video emerged online allegedly showing him confessing to theft.
The clip, which went viral on social media, showed Baken admitting to stealing a motorbike, phones, and over KSh 120,000 in 2022.
He appeared bruised and disoriented, with blood on his face, and was reportedly denied water after being beaten by locals.
The incident allegedly occurred in Juja, where he had been hosted during the festive season. The host claimed Baken vanished the next day, prompting a manhunt. He was later apprehended and taken to Jogoo Police Station.
