A young man mysteriously jumped off from a 5th floor of an apartment in Riruta, Nairobi leading to his untimely death.
Reports suggest that the 25-year-old victim identified as Charles Waga Otieno was forcibly ejected from the seventh floor of a building by a group of foreigners, purportedly of Nigerian descent, following a heated disagreement.
