The mysterious death of 25-year-old rapper Charles Waga, who reportedly fell from the fifth floor of a building in Riruta area, Nairobi County, has taken a perplexing turn following a post-mortem examination that failed to definitively establish the cause of his demise.
Conducted by a private pathologist, the examination on Waga’s body revealed multiple fractures on the head and internal bleeding, yet it left the exact cause of death open-ended. Initial indications suggested that Waga had jumped off the fifth floor, but the autopsy results have only deepened the mystery surrounding his tragic end.
The pathologist, cautious in drawing conclusions, stated, “On the final report, I can’t comment because we don’t know the findings on what could have led to his death, whether he was pushed, what he consumed in the house, or something like that.”
Waga, employed at a car wash on Naivasha Road, off Ngong Road, met his unfortunate fate while delivering a carpet to a client on the fifth floor of an apartment building. Reports from a colleague revealed that Waga had engaged in a casual conversation before the delivery, suggesting that it was a routine task.
“He did some finishing touches on the carpet and stated that he had gone to deliver the carpet to the Nigerians,” recounted his colleague.
However, tragedy struck when, 30 minutes later, a neighbor contacted Waga’s colleagues, informing them of the grim incident. Upon arrival at the scene, they found Waga’s body had already been moved into a car.
Efforts to revive him at a private hospital’s emergency room proved futile, and the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death deepened as his phone, left charging in a janitor’s room, revealed a payment of Ksh400, half of the Ksh800 charged for the carpet service. Speculations arose about possible altercations during the price negotiation for the carpet service.
Waga’s clothing, including pants, slippers, a beanie (marvin), and an earring, were discovered in the hallway leading to the house where he delivered the carpet. The earring, believed not to belong to Waga, raised suspicions and fueled the family’s quest for answers.
In a significant development, four Nigerians have been arrested in connection with Waga’s death. As his family seeks closure, unanswered questions linger, and they hope that the ongoing investigations will shed light on the circumstances leading to the tragic end of the young rapper’s life.
