This comes a day after Ibrahim Mwiti who had gone missing in November 2024 was buried at the Langata cemetery.
His body was found at the Thika Level Four mortuary.
This was more than a month after he went missing in unclear circumstances.
Ibrahim Hilal Mwiti was last seen in Nairobi city centre before he disappeared, prompting a search by his family as his friends resorted to social media platforms seeking help to locate him.
The family said it filed a missing person report at Kamukunji Police Station on November 15, 2024, under OB number 80A/13/11/24.
Their search ended after identifying his body at a mortuary in Thika on January 2, 2025.
Police and morgue officials said the death was a result of hit and run.
Mwiti earned a living as a delivery man some 45 kilometres away from where he was last seen.
