Standard Group Journalist Dies, CCTV Reveals Final Moments
CCTV footage has revealed the dying moments of Standard Group Media journalist Amos Harun Maina, who slumped and died at a pub in Mirema, Nairobi, on November 16 this year.
Maina was shown drinking with a group of bartenders in video footage obtained by KTN before collapsing and dying on the spot while still seated.
A post-mortem examination of the deceased’s corpse found that Maina had taken a deadly chemical, and detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) are investigating the event.
The CCTV footage showed Maina entering the bar at around 4:18 pm on the fateful Sunday of November 16 and heading to a table where a lady and a man were seated.

He shook the hands of both the man and the woman before heading to another table. At 4:30 pm, he then headed to another table and began taking a drink with other revellers.
Moments later, at around 4.50 pm, a lady joined him, and the two held a brief conversation before Maina left the table when he sat down to take his drink.
The footage then showed Harun playing pool for a while, and at 5.05 pm, he returned to his table and continued sipping his drink and then again went back to the pool area.
At 5:8 pm, he was joined by a lady seated in the club. At 5:23 p.m., he left two ladies he had been talking to for about five minutes.

At 9.22 pm, Harun’s head collapses backwards; it is believed that it was the moment he passed away. CCTV captures the bar tender attempting to lay him on the table.
Amos’ brother entered the bar at around 10:49 pm, and attempted to wake him up, only to learn that Harun had passed away.
