Man Recounts Last Conversation with Mum Who Perished in Nithi Bridge Accident: "We’re on Our Way"

 

Dennis Makau lost his mother in the Nithi accident

The family of Teresia Ndunge is grappling with grief following her tragic death in the Nithi accident that claimed 12 lives, including members of the Vision Group. Dennis Makau said he had an unsettling premonition before the fatal crash that claimed his mother's life. 

The sorrow is palpable at her home in Rongai, where her son, Dennis Makau, is struggling to come to terms with the loss of his mother. Makau recounted his last interactions with his mother, revealing an unsettling premonition that led him to repeatedly check on her. He explained that he could not watch a football match during that time, and for the first time, Teresia took long to reply to his messages. "Her last message was, 'We are on our way. We are coming.' 

I first sent her a message, and she replied, saying they were on their way. But as I was watching the game, I felt uneasy and texted her again. Normally, my messages to her are answered within five minutes, but this time, there was no reply. I called her about twenty times, but she didn’t pick up," Dennis shared, his voice choked with emotion. His mother’s silence only deepened his worry until his mother's friend answered one of his calls and informed him of the accident and the search efforts for his mother. 

The devastating confirmation of her death came on Sunday, September 1, leaving him to take care of his two siblings.
