CCTV Reveals University Lecturer's Final Moments With Woman Before He Was Drugged, Robbed and Killed

Details have emerged on what a university lecturer was captured on CCTV doing with a woman during his final moments before he was drugged, robbed and murdered.

Fresh investigations have uncovered chilling details surrounding the death of Edgar Otachi Mokua, a 53-year-old quantity surveyor and lecturer at the Technical University of Kenya, whose night out in Nairobi ended in tragedy on July 7, 2026.

Security cameras captured Mokua spending time with a woman at entertainment spots in Lavington before the pair left together at about 10 pm while carrying drinks.

Investigators say another woman later joined them in the parking area before all three entered a waiting vehicle and drove away.

That was the last time Mokua was seen alive.

The breakthrough comes after homicide detectives arrested the owner of a grey Toyota Ractis believed to have been used to dump Mokua's body.

The Directorate of Criminal Investigations said the suspect was arrested in Blue Estate, Ruiru, after forensic evidence linked the vehicle to the crime.

Detectives later recovered the car at Murera Farm in Juja and seized it as evidence, as the suspect remains in custody awaiting court proceedings.

Police established that Mokua had earlier spent time with two men and a woman before remaining behind with the woman at another club after his companions left.

Hours later, KSh 300000 was transferred from his mobile phone to a woman's account before his body was found near Woodcreek Academy in Roysambu.

Although a postmortem examination did not determine the exact cause of death, toxicology tests are expected to reveal whether he had been drugged.

The investigation gained momentum after another businessman reported being drugged in Ruiru under similar circumstances.

He later discovered that KSh 500000 had been transferred from his mobile money account after losing consciousness.

After reviewing CCTV footage, detectives concluded that the same woman appeared in both incidents.

Investigators believe she is part of an organised gang targeting wealthy men in entertainment venues before drugging them and stealing money through their mobile phones.

Police are now searching for three suspects believed to be behind the criminal network, renewing concerns over the growing threat posed by drink-spiking gangs operating across Nairobi.
