The family of a man who was involved in a grisly road accident that claimed his life has finally been informed of what transpired by the authorities.

Mr Najib Osman Ibrahim was on his way from the city center when the vehicle of registration number KDL 241B which he was driving was involved in an accident, killing him on the spot.

The accident, which took place on the night of Sunday, April 9, 2023, caused traffic mayhem along the busy roundabout.

Witnesses say that Mr Osman veered off the road as he avoided hitting a motorbike rider who overtook him from 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.
