Chiromo Hospital Group’s Braeside Branch has been instructed to shut down until further notice due to the death of Toto Touch CEO, Susan Njoki.
The Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) has mandated the evacuation of all patients from the hospital with mediate effect.
In a correspondence sent to the facility KMPDU CEO David Kariuki indicated that this action is a response to reports suggesting a potential involvement of a hospital staff, in the events surrounding Njoki’s death.
Njoki, who was the CEO and founder of the fintech company Toto Touch, was reportedly forcibly taken from her residence in Kileleshwa by four individuals.
These individuals, believed to have acted under the direction of her husband and psychiatrist, allegedly administered an unknown substance to her without her consent.
The following day, Njoki was transported to the Braeside branch of the Chiromo Hospital Group, where she subsequently passed away.
A post-mortem examination performed by six pathologists determined that Njoki’s cause of death was manual strangulation.
