Brian Chira Wambui, a popular Kenyan Tiktoker, died in a hit-and-run accident.
The contentious influencer is alleged to have been struck by a speeding lorry on Saturday at approximately 4 a.m. while drunk in the Gacharage area on the Ndenderu-Ruaka Road in Kiambu County.
According to Pius Mwanthi, Kiambaa sub-county OCPD, Chira was struck by a white canter on his way home from a night out with a companion.
According to a police file and submitted at the Karuri Traffic Base, Chira was being taken home by his friend Zeleck Momanyi Alfonso on a motorcycle at the time of the accident.
Rumor has it that Momanyi ran into Chira outside Ciero Resort after the latter was ejected by security for reportedly stirring up trouble in the entertainment establishment.
“It happened that they were coming from Ciero Resort at the Gacharage area near Total Petrol Station where Zeleck Momanyi Alfonso had passed while on his way to his house and found Brian Chira being taken out of the resort by security guards claiming he was drunk and causing chaos and the resort was closing,” according to the police report.
Chira allegedly got off the motorcycle at the Gacharage roundabout, raced to the main road, got knocked down, and passed out instantaneously.
“Upon reaching Gacharage roundabout, Brian requested Momanyi and the rider of the motorcycle namely Abdul Charo via phone to take him to his house and they then passed the service lane towards Ruaka but headed towards Ndenderu on the wrong side and on reaching the location of the accident, Brian alighted and ran to the main road,” stated the report,
“Zeleck Momanyi then followed him for he was drunk and before he could reach him, he was hit by a white canter which did not stop.”
Since then, his body has been taken to the City Mortuary.
