Popular TikToker Brian Chira dies in road accident

Popular Kenyan Tiktoker Brian Chira Wambui has died following a hit-and-run car accident.

According to reports, the controversial influencer is said to have been run over by a speeding lorry at around 4am on Saturday while drunk in Gacharage area on the Ndenderu-Ruaka Road in Kiambu County.

Kiambaa sub-county OCPD Pius Mwanthi confirmed the incident saying Chira was hit by a white canter while heading home from a night out in the company of a friend.

A police report filed at the Karuri Traffic Base seen by Citizen Digital revealed that Chira was being taken home by his friend Zeleck Momanyi Alfonso on a motorbike when the tragedy happened.

Momanyi is said to have bumped into Chira outside Ciero Resort after the latter was thrown out by security guards for allegedly causing chaos in the entertainment joint.

"It happened that they were coming from Ciero Resort at the Gacharage area near Total Petrol Station where Zeleck Momanyi Alfonso had passed while on his way to his house and found Brian Chira being taken out of the resort by security guards claiming he was drunk and causing chaos and the resort was closing," read the police report.

On reaching the Gacharage roundabout, Chira is said to have alighted the motorbike and then ran to the main road where he was knocked down and died on the spot.

"Upon reaching Gacharage roundabout,  Brian requested Momanyi and the rider of the motorcycle namely Abdul Charo via phone to take him to his house and they then passed the service lane towards Ruaka but headed towards Ndenderu on the wrong side and on reaching the location of the accident, Brian alighted and ran to the main road," stated the report,

"Zeleck Momanyi then followed him for he was drunk and before he could reach him, he was hit by a white canter which did not stop."

His body has since been taken to the City Mortuary.
