The family of a man who was killed in a grisly road accident has finally been informed of what happened by authorities.
Mr. Najib Osman Ibrahim was on his way from the city center when his vehicle, registration number KDL 241B, was involved in an accident, killing him on the spot.
The accident, which occurred on the night of Sunday, April 9, 2023, caused traffic snarls along the busy roundabout.
According to witnesses, Mr Osman veered off the road to avoid colliding with a motorbike rider who overtook him in the wrong direction.
“He was trying to save a life by not knocking a motorbike rider but unfortunately he paid the ultimate prize which claimed his life,” said Gabriel Kamau who is a mechanic around Globe Cinema.
On Monday, several people took to social media to ask anyone who knew Mr Osman to notify his family of what had happened.
This came after it was revealed that he died on the spot, and officers decided to transport his body to the City Mortuary after realising he was no longer alive.
His body was identified as an unknown male adult by the facility.
The officers also towed his car to the Nairobi Central Police Station, where it is being held.
According to Nairobi News, the family was busy at the station on Monday, April 10, trying to get clearance to take the vehicle to the mechanic and prepare for his burial.
According to a family source who requested anonymity, they intend to provide more information to the media after the burial.
“For now we are all up and down as we plan for the burial. We would want to share more about him after the sendoff,” said the family source.
The deceased will today, April 11, 2023, be laid to rest at the Lang’ata Cemetery as per to the Muslim tradition.
