Joseph Irungu alias Jowie on Friday, March 8, released a message that he was scheduled to make public on his actual sentencing day.
In a three-line message posted on his YouTube channel, the security personnel, who was found guilty of the murder of Nairobi businesswoman Monica Kimani, expressed his fear of the storm he was undergoing.
He noted that his hope was in God adding that he relies on his maker when he is afraid.
Further, he shared a song titled, I Believe, asserting that his art was aimed at encouraging those who were going through a stormy period like him.
"When I am afraid, I will trust in thee. No matter the storms of life, just trust in God. He is the only hope. Just believe.
"May this song minister to all of us. We are in different storms of life but one thing I know for sure, we shall overcome someday," he shared.
Kenyans.co.ke established that the message and the song were posted at 11:45 am, a time when his sentencing was scheduled to take place.
Jowie's sentencing was adjourned by Lady Justice Grace Nzioka to Wednesday, March 13 owing to late submissions of the pre-sentencing report by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) and the victim's family.
Owing to the delays, the judge noted that Jowie's defence could not file their response to the submission by the ODPP and Kimani's family.
She directed that Jowie's lawyers file their submission by the end of Monday, March 11.
"I hope we will not adjourn it again and that we will deal with this matter to its finality on the day that I have fixed for this judgement," she stated.
Jowie was found guilty of the murder of Kimani on February 6. At the time, Justice Nzioka noted that the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.
Justice Nzioka relied on the last-seen doctrine, DNA for blood found on Jowie's shorts and his security skills in determining the guilty verdict.
