Nyakieya’s driver described the incident as a tyre-burst, but close members stuck to their version of the story.
Unconfirmed twists around Nyakieya’s death
Nyakieya’s mother, Marcella Magara, vigorously maintained that his son was assassinated because he stood against Moi and his dictatorial leadership style.
Credible sources allege that “a red police car” was pursuing Nyakieya’s car when the incident happened.
Family members accused the said officers of failing to help Nyakieya on the spot only to show up first at the hospital.
CID members reportedly harassed Nyakieya’s wife Lydia Nyankioya and other family members in the process of pursuing justice.
