“Investigations have revealed that on the fateful day, Osunga was fatally attacked by a gang of hoodlums in the Ayani area. He sustained fatal wounds on his back, believed to have been caused by a sharp object,” the DCI stated
The unfortunate occurrence took place following a disagreement between his entourage and unruly bodaboda motorcyclists.
The fourth-year student’s death was announced on Tuesday, November 19, with rumors indicating that he was repeatedly hacked by a crowd.
According to accounts, Akoko, a Siaya County resident, responded to an invitation from a friend in Kibera and came into the slums with a man and a woman.
It is claimed that Akoko volunteered to pay for drinks for all attendees at the slum’s place before moving on to a different club where a prominent Ohangla artist was performing.

Everything went out of control at the club. A scuffle broke out between Akoko’s group and some boda boda riders enraged by what the Kirinyaga University student stated.

His death occurred just two months after Dennis Oduor Otieno, alias “Denno Bright,” another Kirinyaga University student, was discovered dead in a Mombasa residence after allegedly fainting after an adventurous night out.
