Mwangi, a well-known conductor for the Famous Super Metro, had passed away recently, leaving behind a legacy cherished by many in the community.

Family spokespersons voiced their disappointment, stating that they had expected a dignified send-off for Mwangi, who was loved by many for his warm personality and dedication to his work.

This lack of clarity fueled suspicions and led to accusations of financial mismanagement.
Witnesses at the funeral noted the rising emotions among attendees. Some family members were seen confronting Muturi directly, demanding an explanation for the discrepancies in the funds. The atmosphere quickly became charged as mourners who had come to celebrate Mwangi’s life found themselves caught up in a public dispute.
As the accusations intensified, the ceremony was disrupted, drawing attention away from the purpose of the gathering. Many mourners were visibly upset, caught between their grief for Mwangi and the unfolding drama regarding the funeral arrangements. Some attendees expressed their frustration on social media, sharing their thoughts on the situation and calling for accountability.
