Neighbours Narrate Last Moments of Rongo University 1st Year Girl Found Dead Weeks after Admission
Violet Mokobi Nyabicha’s educational journey was cut short after she passed away just months after joining campus
The 19-year-old was found unconscious in her hostel room before being rushed to the Rongo University clinic.
Her neighbors narrated what transpired prior to her being pronounced dead at the medical facility
Violet Mokobi Nyabicha met her fate on Friday, September 26, as announced by the school through an internal memo.
The young lady had only recently joined the university, where she was pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in Linguistics under the School of Arts, Social Sciences, and Business.
Her neighbor shed light on the last moments of the 19-year-old, who was found unconscious in her room at Paradise Hostel.
“It happened at 9pm. The lady left the house with a bucket, going to pour something that looked like water. We thought maybe it was dirty water after washing utensils or clothes. When she returned to the room, she left her door open.
We then heard sounds like a struggle, as though there was a fight. We rushed in and found she was struggling to breathe and seemed unconscious,” Mokobi’s neighbor said.
The neighbor also noted there was a strong smell inside the room and suspected a possible gas leak.
Buckets of water had been kicked over, leaving the floor wet, yet Mokobi was all alone.
She was lying on the bed with her head hanging off the edge, according to the witness.
A piece of evidence was reportedly found at the scene, a handwritten note left on her table.
“I went to the table and found a book. Looking at it closely, I saw she had written a note. She said if anything happened to her, there was a person to blame. ‘Please, please, please. He is the cause.’ That is what she had written,” another neighbor said.
Mokobi was immediately rushed to the university clinic for urgent medical assistance. Despite their quick effort, doctors were unable to save her.
She was pronounced dead on arrival, leaving her neighbors and fellow students heartbroken.
Authorities have since launched investigations into the circumstances surrounding Mokobi’s death and the allegations contained in her note.
