Amid the ecstatic celebrations, Ruth accidentally misplaced her iPhone 14 while exiting the stadium. She later shared the incident on Instagram Stories, posting: “Mixed emotions today. Kenya won, and I was overly excited, but sadly, I lost my iPhone 14 while exiting Kasarani Stadium. If anyone finds it and returns it, I promise a reward of KSh 30,000. It has my unposted projects.” She explained that the device contained several important unfinished projects, making its recovery crucial.
