“I ran outside with a blanket (to help in putting out the fire) on hearing that there was someone trapped inside a car that was on fire, sadly, the car blew up before I even made it out of my gate,” he said.
Nobody knows what led to the incident but the police have already begun investigations.
“We still don’t know the events that led up to the sad incident. The firemen who came to the scene were also puzzled,” the eye witness added.
The fire was put off by Nairobi County Firefighters.
