Comedian Eric Omondi has recounted the last moments he shared with his younger brother, Fred Odhiambo Omondi, who tragically died in a road accident on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
Fred, a former comedian on the popular Churchill Show, was involved in a fatal collision around 6 am on Kagundo Road.<\/p>\n
A police report filed at Buruburu station stated that the accident occurred near the Caltex Petrol station when a bodaboda carrying Fred collided head-on with a speeding bus.<\/p>\n
Authorities revealed that the bus was traveling towards Nairobi CBD from Kayole, while the bodaboda was heading in the opposite direction and was on the wrong side of the road.<\/p>\n
The impact of the collision resulted in Fred Omondi’s immediate death at the scene.<\/p>\n
“The accident happened near Caltex Petrol station on Kagundo Road,” the police report noted.<\/p>\n
Speaking with Nairobi News<\/em>, Eric Omondi shared how deeply the loss of his younger brother has affected him.<\/p>\n “His death has completely affected me as his brother. It has not even sunk in. In my family, Fred and I are the entertainers. We were very close, and apart from being brothers, we always worked together,” Eric said.<\/p>\n Recounting their last moment together, Eric revealed:<\/p>\n “The last time I saw him was one week before his death. We had a show together in Kisii. We performed until around 3 am. I was rushing to Uganda, so I paid him and left him to continue the show for one more hour before he also proceeded to a show in Kericho. It is untimely and unfortunate.”<\/p>\n Eric further described Fred as a beloved figure in the entertainment industry, saying:<\/p>\n “He has performed in every part of this country. He had a good relationship with creatives and everyone he met.”<\/p>\n The loss has been particularly hard on their foster mother.<\/p>\n Eric shared, “My foster mother supported my brother in his life. I am avoiding her so much because I do not want to cry. I don’t even want to meet her or even talk to her.”<\/p>\n Eric said their sister who lives in Germany will attend the burial.<\/p>\n In a heartfelt message to Kenyans, Eric asked for their prayers, “Please pray for us as a family.”<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Comedian Eric Omondi has recounted the last moments he shared with his younger brother, Fred Odhiambo Omondi, who tragically died in a road accident on Saturday morning.
