A family in Nairobi's Newbury court estate has accused rapper Henry Ohanga, aka, Octopizzo for assaulting their son Kenneth Abom, forcing him to jump from the fourth floor of their building leading to his death.

According to witnesses, who are residents of the Estate, they saw the 19-year-old student of Strathmore University ran to their house, which is on the fourth floor with a cut on the right side of his forehead and blood-stained shirt, while Octopizzo pursued him. One of Octopizzo's neighbour's told SDE;

He (Octopizzo) was immediately told to stop and told that Kenneth was a resident.

According to Kenneth's brother Paul Abom, his sibling rushed to the bathroom to clean himself and after a few minutes, he was found on the ground after falling through the window. In an interview with SDE he said;

He was rushed to Nairobi Women’s Hospital and then referred to Kenyatta National Hospital where doctors promised that he would recover.

Kenneth's heartbroken father revealed that on Friday his son showed some signs of improvement but on Saturday, he was pronounced dead at 10 am.

The Ivo Ivo hitmaker has however denied hitting the deceased and said that he broke into his house.

I did not hit the boy. His father was the first person I talked to after the incident. I did not know what he came to do in my house. An hour later, we heard that the boy dropped from the fourth floor.

The incident which happened on Thursday has left many in disbelief. The family is seeking justice for their late son Kenneth Abom.
