Probe as Nairobi woman allegedly suffocated to death by boyfriend

The suspect, identified as Nelson Ambia, is alleged to have killed Hussein using a pillow before reportedly recording the incident and sending the video to her family.

According to information shared by former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, the suspect is also accused of threatening the deceased's younger siblings, Shadia, 19, and Malik, 15.

The matter was reported at Sunton Police Station in Kasarani Sub-County on September 30, 2026, under Occurrence Book (OB) number 37.

Documents seen by Citizen Digital, including a police report acknowledgement and a letter addressed to a mortuary superintendent, indicate that the death was reported to the station as a suspected murder.

The mortuary admission letter identifies Hussein as the deceased and indicates that her body was recovered from a house in the Githurai-Sunton area.

The document also identifies the matter as a police case, pending postmortem examination and burial arrangements.

Meanwhile, Sonko has offered a Ksh. 50,000 reward to anyone who provides credible information leading to the suspect's arrest.

In a social media post, the former governor claimed that Ambia had recently been spotted in Kakamega County and appealed to members of the public to assist in tracing him.

"I am offering KSh 50,000 to anyone whose credible information leads to his arrest," Sonko stated.

He urged anyone with information about the suspect's whereabouts to report to the nearest police station rather than attempt to confront him.
