Police Probe Mysterious Death of Two Nigerians at Kilimani House Party

Detectives have opened a probe into an incident where two people died during a house party in Nairobi’s Kilimani estate.

Reports indicate the incident occurred at Sky Horse Apartment along Wood Avenue in Kilimani on Friday night.

One of the victims allegedly jumped from the seventh floor of the building while the other collapsed and died. The two are said to be Nigerian nationals.

Sources said the deceased were among about 20 merrymakers who had gathered in an apartment to mourn the death of another Nigerian national, who passed away on July 4th.

One of the victims was identified as 23-year-old Maxwell Courage Ademuajimi. He is believed to have committed suicide by plunging from the 7th floor of the building.

Kilimani Sub-County police commander Muturi Mbogo said that there were no signs of struggle, hence ruling out the possibility of foul play.

Witness reports indicate the second victim collapsed and died in the kitchen as he was preparing a meal for the other revelers. Two other men collapsed at the party and were rushed to the hospital where they are still receiving treatment.

Police officers recovered alcohol, rolls of bhang, and other controlled substances of unknown nature from the scene. Investigations are ongoing to establish whether the substances are connected to the two deaths.

"We recovered drugs and alcohol at the party. We have not done the postmortems to ascertain the cause of deaths. Our analysts and pathologists are looking at the exhibits," said Muturi.
