Elsewhere, police in Nairobi are investigating the death of a man who succumbed to head injuries several days after he was allegedly attacked by people known to him in Kariokor.
The deceased, Kennedy Otieno Ogonda, was allegedly hit several times on the head with blunt objects on August 22, 2026, within Kariokor.
His wife, a resident of Dandora Phase 4, reported the incident.
According to the report, Ogonda sustained serious head injuries during the alleged assault and was rushed to Brother Andre Hospital in Dandora, where he was admitted for treatment.
His condition later deteriorated, prompting his transfer to Kenyatta National Hospital on August 24.
He subsequently died while undergoing treatment at the facility.
