Details on the mysterious life Frank Obegi and his friends lived have began to emerge after he was found murdered with his friends in Kijabe Forest.
According to Obegi’s acquaintances, the social media influencer was living large and had huge amounts of money whose origin he could not explain.
Obegi and his friends Moses Nyachae and Elijah Omeke are said to have been involved in the wash wash business in Nairobi. In 2020, they allegedly narrowly escaped death in a wash wash deal in Nairobi.
A Twitter user who was identified as @AngelTeshy recalled how Obegi lived large.
“I recall very well I once saw this Frank Obegi guy in a certain entertainment joint in Westlands, and boy was popping bottles like hell in a group of women and other dudes.”

“One of them had been partially eaten by wild animals. Their private parts had been cut off and it seems they died through strangulation. They had no identification documents and were naked,”
Lari police boss Adamson Furaha.
A report that appeared in the Daily Nation suggested that the police were pursuing a woman who is alleged to have lured Obegi and his friends to their death.
