BBA #TheChase Winner Dillish, Accepts Kenyan Father

Newly crowned Big Brother Africa #TheChase winner Namibia’s Dillish recently learned of her retired Kenyan soldier father, Abdi Guyo, and that she hails from the Borana ethnic group in Northern Kenya.

Creating a media frenzy, the topic of who and where Dillish’s biological father resided became scrutinized by the media in the past few days.

A week after Dillish took home the grand prize of USD $300,000, the winner and her family revealed that the Namibian beauty was on a mission to find her real father.

Dillish's father

According to NewVision, in a Google hangout organized by the Kenyan Embassy in Namibia, Selma, Dillish’s mother and biological father Abdi, were able to talk to each other for the first time in close to 23 years. Dillish's mum confirmed he's indeed Dillish's father and emotions ran deep when she was visibly overcome by the reunion. It was clear that she recognized him and was willing to talk. If there had been any hard feelings in the past, they were not visible in this hangout as the two gushed about their time together while in Namibia.

Dillish who had previously denied him, later took to twitter to acknowledge her Boronan heritage.

According to reports, Dillish has invited her newly reunited biological father to her 23rd birthday party in Namibia, to be held on the 16th of September.

Dillish's uncle was quick to remind Guyo to visit Namibia with loads of money as gratitude for all the work he did raising up Dillish in Guyo's absence.
