Eyewitness appears in two separate tragic accidents

Dennis Muigai Ngengi

Kenyans on social media have been wondering about a mysterious eyewitness who has been seen on live media coverage of fatal accident scenes.

Many have been asking whether it’s by coincidence that Dennis Muigai Ngengi is the same person who witnessed the helicopter crash in Lake Nakuru and the Murang’a accident where Nyeri Governor Wahome Gakuru died.

Mr. Ngegi claimed that he witnessed the tragic accident Tuesday morning along Thika-Murang’a road that claimed the life of the Nyeri Governor.

Body of the late Governor Gakuru was taken to Lee Funeral Home, awaiting postmortem and other burial arrangements.  

Speaking during a live TV interview, he explained how he was in a vehicle behind the governor’s vehicle before the accident occurred.

Most people identified him as the same man who testified in another TV interview in October during the Nakuru helicopter crash. He seemed to have details of events surrounding the accident.

At Lake Nakuru he identified himself as a pilot and a friend to the late Apollo Malowa, the pilot who perished in the helicopter crash. He was in crutches during the live TV interview as he sent condolences to families of the five people who perished in the accident.
