Police in Kibera are investigating the cause of death of a 26-year-old man who was found dead on Tuesday morning at Kamukunji village.
The man identified as Emmanuel Amilu alias Jamin allegedly died after drinking 'poisoned' illicit brew.
According to close friends, he was given alcohol by a man who they suspect was behind his death.
"Jamin is a drunkard, so yesterday a man by the name Jackson called him to his house where he gave him a lot of alcohol before locking him inside the house.
I suspected ill motive and decided to seek explanation why they had kept him that long. Instead they assaulted me and even took my Sh800, only to be informed this morning that Jamin is dead," narrated Martin Wafula, a close friend to the deceased.
"This man Jackson should be arrested to explain what he knows about the death of Jamin because all that while he has been drinking but it has never harmed him," added Wafula.
Police officers who arrived at the scene said investigations have been launched to ascertain the cause of death and bring to book those found responsible.
The body of the deceased was taken to City Mourtuary.
