Renowned linguist, author and journalist Ken Walibora is dead.
Prof Walibora, 56, lost his life after being knocked down by a matatu on Landhies Road on Friday.
He had been missing since Friday, with his family searching for him for days.
His body was later found at the Kenyatta National Hospital mortuary.
Police say they are now seeking the driver of the matatu that caused the death of the renowned linguist.
Nairobi area police commander Philip Ndolo confirmed to the Nation that the driver of the said matatu had on Friday recorded a statement with the police after the accident happened at around 9 am.
“He was chased, arrested and made to record a statement for careless driving and causing grievous harm,” said the regional police boss.
While that was happening, Mr Walibora was rushed to Kenyatta National Hospital by well-wishers where he succumbed to injuries.
“We are looking for the driver so as to press fresh charges against him now that his victim succumbed to injuries. He shall then be arraigned in court,” added Mr Ndolo.
