Comedian Eric Omondi’s elder brother Joseph Omondi died hours he was found by his family in Nairobi CBD.
Eric’s brother was found in an unhealthy condition as he was addicted to Cocaine and other substances.
“This is not the last image I would have wanted to post of my brother... But this is definitely the image I want every young person in this Country to see!!! Joseph Onyango Omondi passed on this morning around 3am, barely 12 hours after I found him in Downton River Road. He was addicted to Cocaine and other substances and was in and out of Rehab for the past 19 years. May God himself take charge,’’ Eric wrote.
The comedian says he traced his brother after a tip from a taxi driver in Nyandarua Road, Nairobi.
