On December 2, 2019, a senior detective attached to the Anti-Terrorism Police Unit (ATPU) tragically passed away at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi.
Chief Inspector Monica Wambui Githaiga had just landed at JKIA aboard Ethiopian Airlines flight ET 719 from Japan, where she had been on a short course with her colleagues.
According to her colleagues, Wambui had fallen ill during the transit in Dubai and was treated at the airport's medical facility before continuing her journey.
However, shortly after arriving at JKIA's Terminal 1E, Wambui began complaining of chest pains and was rushed to the Port Health Clinic, where she sadly passed away while receiving treatment.
Her body was taken to Chiromo Mortuary for a postmortem examination.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has launched an investigation to determine the cause of her death.
