A mother in Kangemi, Nairobi, is mourning the tragic and sudden loss of her teenage son, Wilberforce Kisia, who was allegedly beaten to death by bouncers at a local entertainment club.
The incident has left the family shattered and searching for answers, as they demand justice for the 17-year-old.
According to family members, Wilberforce left home on Sunday, assuring them he would return the next morning.
However, by Tuesday, there was no communication from him.
His brother, Kennedy Ambani, recalled that Kisia had promised to be home by Monday.
Concern grew when they noticed the club had not shared any updates or images of him online.
After days of searching and contacting friends, the family made a devastating discovery—Wilberforce’s body was found on Tuesday evening.
A postmortem revealed that he had suffered serious injuries caused by a beating, pointing to a violent altercation as the cause of his death.
His mother, Joyce Kavai, expressed deep sorrow and disbelief, saying she could not understand why anyone would harm her child.
“They killed my child, my baby,” she said through tears. “I ask why, but no one gives me an answer. I want justice.”
Wilberforce was known to his peers as a vibrant and talented young man who loved dancing and had built a following online.
His untimely death has sparked outrage on social media, with many calling for the arrest of those involved.
Users have criticized the club for allowing a minor to enter and condemned the bouncers for using excessive force.
One user commented, “The club should be held accountable. The bouncers must face murder charges.”
Another said, “Being a bouncer means protecting people, not harming them. This is unacceptable.”
The tragedy has brought to light growing concerns over the safety of minors in nightlife venues across Nairobi.
It also raises questions about how such establishments enforce age restrictions and manage conflicts.
As the family prepares for Wilberforce’s burial, their message remains clear: justice must be served.
Joyce Kavai has vowed not to rest until those responsible are held accountable. “I won’t accept that my son died like this,” she said.
