“What a sad day. This boy right here was a very good friend. He used to wash cars at the carwash next to Jaggy Pure Kienyeji Chicken in Thome. On Sunday, I passed by the carwash as usual to wash my car, and I found he was not there. When I asked his colleagues, they said he had not come to work, but he was on the way,” he wrote.
However, the situation took a tragic turn when he later received a direct message on Instagram informing him that the young man had passed away.
He disclosed that the deceased had been hit by a vehicle near the Windsor area, just after Habanos along the Northern Bypass, while on his way to work that same day.
