Tuesday, August 4, 2026 - A family is demanding justice after their 30-year-old kin was stabbed to death during a road rage confrontation near Nyayo National Stadium along Mombasa Road in Nairobi.
The deceased, Kennedy Ngeno, is said to have been attacked
by an online taxi driver following a heated altercation after a minor traffic
accident.
According to the family, Kennedy had travelled from his
rural home in Roret, Kericho County, to Nairobi on Friday.
He first stopped at his cousin's home in Uthiru, where they
went out for drinks, then later headed to Pipeline with friends who were
travelling in a separate vehicle.
His cousin, Leonard Cheruiyot, said trouble began after the
taxi driver rammed into their vehicle from behind, forcing them to pull over by
the roadside.
However, instead of resolving the matter peacefully,
the driver reportedly became aggressive.
“He came to the front and hit the windscreen. We saw that he
was violent, so we drove about 50 metres ahead and called Ken to tell him that
someone had hit us and shattered the windscreen,” Cheruiyot said.
Videos circulating online captured the tense confrontation
between Kennedy and the taxi driver.
According to police, the suspect retrieved a knife from his
vehicle and stabbed Kennedy before fleeing the scene.
Another person was also injured during the incident.
Kennedy was rushed to Mbagathi Hospital before being
referred to Kenyatta National Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
His widow, Dorcas Ngeno, described him as the family's sole
breadwinner and appealed to authorities to ensure justice is served.
Makadara OCPD Judith Nyongesa said detectives have already
retrieved the suspect's details from the National Transport and Safety
Authority (NTSA), a crucial breakthrough expected to aid in his arrest.
