  • Mugo became a trending topic on Monday after the controversial documentary aired on BBC. 
  • Mugo has, however, rebuffed the trolls. 

Kenyan self-styled spy queen Jane Mugo has responded to online trolls after a documentary aired of BBC profiling her detective life.

The documentary dubbed Kenya's Spy Queen has since gone viral with many Kenyans mocking Mugo.

The documentary is characterized by a chef tasting food before she eats, vicious dogs led by one called Hitler to beating up the security team to toughen them.

Many of the comments, however, ridiculed the detective's theatrical presentations and absurd claims regarding her prowess.

In a statement, Mugo claimed that some of the comments were from pseudo accounts and others from people who were only jealous of her achievements.

"Am slowly monitoring the comments... Idles, haters who have never appeared on local radio station or their village limelight. They cannot show us what they have done in their village struggling to put food on the table yet jealous souls," she stated.

She added that there was minimal talk about her success and accused Kenyans of concentrating on a joke that she made intentionally.

"Nobody is speaking about my training or my range. I am an African woman and I don't regret loving myself. I pray you stay longer to witness my blessings," she continued.

Mugo added that she did not mind any kind of publicity, where it was good or bad.

"While the world is congratulating me for winning in a male-dominated job, I saw some cheap desperate bloggers vomiting hatred looking for cheap publicity."

Mugo was a trending topic after the documentary was aired, with most poking fun at the piece.
