The wife of the man who drowned at the Likoni channel after his car plunged into the waters of the Indian Ocean has spoken out.
According to Ruth Mueni, her husband had told her that he had dreamed about getting a call from his dead father, who asked him to drive to the Mombasa Central Business District so that they could meet.
She was sacred when the husband told her about the strange dream and when on to hide the car key in the hope that he would not drive to the CBD.
John Mutinda was even asked by the wife to join her in prayers but he would not hear any of that according to media a report on the K24 Digital news portal.
He searched every nook and cranny in the house and ended up locating where the key was, jumped into the car, turned the ignition and sped off towards the CBD.
“He, thereafter, drove out at high speed,” Ruth Mueni said.
Another relative Benedict Sila corroborated Mueni's strange statement, saying that Mutinda left his home at 4 a.m after dreaming that he was being called by his late father to a meeting at the CBD.
According to the Kenya Ferry Services, John Mutinda arrived at the channel at around 4:20 a.m when he plunged into the Indian Ocean waters and drowned.
He had been asked to stop but he didn't.
