The deceased had been in South Africa since 2013 when he earned a Maseno University scholarship to complete his studies in pure accounting at the University of Cape Town.

 While speaking to the Nation paper, his brother Washington Obara said that he went into business and ran a hairdressing salon, a spa, and a taxi service in South Africa's capital city.

On Wednesday night, Obara stated that the family learned that his taxi drivers had murdered his brother.

"At 1 a.m., I received a call from my sister informing me that Enock had died." "When I checked with friends in South Africa, they told me that my brother was attacked at his home by taxi drivers," he told the Nation.

"They told me that my brother drove his would-be killers to his house, where they stabbed him to death."

The family is now pleading with the government to take up the case and assist them in solving the mystery surrounding their kin's death and repatriating his body back to the country so that he can be properly buried.


"We are seeking justice for our late brother." The Kenyan Embassy in South Africa should look into the situation and conduct an investigation. "The perpetrators must be held accountable," Obare remarked.
