Popular cosmetic surgery clinic Body By Design has been shut down indefinitely.

The news was revealed by former Nairobi Governor Mike Mbuvi Sonko, who had earlier in the day led a group of young people to the clinic, demanding justice over the death of Lucy Wambui.

According to several posts from family members and friends, Lucy Wambui's death was allegedly due to negligence at the clinic following a recent cosmetic procedure she had undergone.

It was said that after the procedure, the late beauty queen soon developed complications which led her to being admitted to a city hospital but unfortunately she passed away 4 days later.

Mike Sonko took to his X account to share a photo of a closure notice issued by the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council.
