Kenyan comedian Eric Omondi has successfully mobilized support for Meshack Opiyo, the father of the late Albert Ojwang, following an emotional appeal on social media.
Omondi, who visited City Mortuary to view Ojwang’s body, urged his online followers Team Sisi Kwa Sisi to send financial help
Within just 11 minutes, Opiyo’s M-Pesa account had reached its limit, forcing the team to share additional numbers to accommodate the overwhelming response.
“May God bless you! Just 11 minutes after posting, Baba Albert’s phone was full,” Omondi shared, thanking Kenyans for their generosity.
The funds are meant to support Ojwang’s family, including his 3-year-old son, as investigations into the young man’s controversial death continue.
