A former Multimedia University of Kenya (MMU) student, whose name is Susan Njoki, who has been missing, since December 30, 2018, has been found dead.
Njoki’s elder brother, Suleiman Ngige, said the former Bachelor of Applied Communication student, who graduated in 2017, went missing on December 30 and was last seen in Nairobi’s central business district at 11pm after reporting to work earlier in the day.
The brother who spoke to EDAILY on phone said Ms Njoki’s body was found lying at Nairobi’s City Mortuary.
According to the brother , the search came to an end when a City Mortuary attendant came across his social media post announcing his sister’s disappearance, informed him that he had seen Ms Njoki’s body at the morgue.

“We are currently at a city police station trying to find out what exactly led to my sister’s death. However, preliminary investigations show that she was run over by a vehicle, which left her dead on December 31. Her body, according to the morgue attendant, who I spoke to, was taken to the facility by a police van from Juja station at 3am on New Year’s Eve,” said Mr Ngige in a shaky voice.
According to Mr Ngige, Ms Njoki had spent her Christmas holiday with her family in Njoro, Nakuru County. The missing girl returned to Nairobi on December 27 ahead of the job she was to report to on December 30.
She stayed with her friend and cousin in Ongata Rongai, Kajiado County.
“By the time of her return to Nairobi, none of her roommates was present, given they had traveled home for the end of year holidays,” said Mr Ngige.
“We are completely devastated. My parents are badly affected. Njoki has never gone for more than two days without calling us on phone. Even when she loses her phone, she always finds a way of reaching us. It is eleven days today since she was last seen, and we have not even heard a single word from her. That is very uncharacteristic of Njoki,” said Mr Ngige.
Mr Ngige reveals that his sister had expressed an interest in moving from Ongata Rongai to Ruiru, Kiambu County and their mother had agreed to send her some money on January 2 to facilitate her relocation.
The distressed brother says he only learnt about his sister’s relationship with an “Arab guy” two days ago.
“I have asked around [from her friends] if she was in a relationship, and I just learnt that she was seeing an Arab guy. I understand that the relationship was only one-and-a-half months old, when she disappeared. Her friends do not know the name of the guy, or where he exactly lives. They only know that he is a resident of Nairobi,” said Mr Ngige.
Ms Njoki’s family had filed reports about her disappearance at Njoro Police Station and Central Police Station in Nakuru.
