EMBU: A 100-year-old woman serving a jail term at the Embu Women Prison has entered into the institution’s books of history as the oldest inmate ever.

For Margaret Ngima, being sent to the correctional facility was a shocker considering that during her energetic days, she had neither been imprisoned nor imagined it would happen in her sunset years.
