How Billionaire Akoko Met his Death.
Fresh details have emerged into how Kirinyaga University student Sospeter Onyango Osungo popularly known as “Billionaire Akoko” met his tragic death on Sunday night.
The 23-year-old from Gem, Siaya County was reportedly stabbed seven times in the stomach and back by a mob following a confrontation outside a bar in Kibera, Nairobi.
The student who was known for his flashy lifestyle and unexplained source of wealth had reportedly angered locals after offering drinks to revellers and making condescending comments which some did not take lightly.
Two of his friends, a man and a lady, were also seriously injured in the attack and are currently hospitalized.
Police have since launched investigations into the incident and a hunt is underway for the attackers.
Some witnesses alleged that police officers on patrol were present during the mob attack but did nothing to intervene.
According to witnesses, the incident was accelerated by comments the young Gen Z made towards revelers.
Billionaire Akoko was killed on Sunday night in a violent mob attack outside a Kibera bar. The offensive remarks sparked anger after he allegedly offered drinks to clubgoers.
This was after he had been stabbed and hacked seven times in the stomach and back of his body. His male and female friends he was with are also nursing stab wounds after being attacked by a mob of bodaboda riders following a disagreement, police said.
BILLIONAIRE AKOKO
Police added that they have recorded statements from at least five witnesses including the two friends, his mother, and a friend Billionaire Akoko was meeting then.
No arrest has been made but police said they are pursuing the Bodaboda riders behind the incident to face murder charges.
On the day he died, he had called a longtime friend living in Kibera and told him he wanted to treat him. The friend said Akoko arrived in an Audi Q3 and parked it outside a popular joint in the slums.
He was with a man and a woman, witnesses said. He then offered to buy drinks for all the revellers who were present. In the process, they learned that a popular Ohangla musician was playing live music in a different neighbouring club in the slum.
They decided to go there. While entering the club, a commotion ensued as a crowd followed Billionaire Akoko. Witnesses said the confrontation involved his followers and the bodaboda gang operating there.
The bodaboda gang felt disrespected and abused and turned violent. Things went worse when Akoko allegedly told them he could shoot them, a witness claimed.
According to witnesses, the statement angered the riders who went physical and branded Akoko a thief.
They attacked him with pangas and knives leaving him for death. The female friend was also hacked and seriously wounded, the same as the other man. It is alleged that Billionaire Akoko was a fraudster masquerading as a forex trader
