Three people died and one person lost his eyesight in Nairobi’s Eastleigh area after consuming a killer brew on Saturday.
The four are said to have been drinking at a local bar in Eastleigh’s section three when the tragedy happened.
Wallace Ogundo a resident of Eastleigh says one person died on the spot while the other two died on their way to the hospital.
“The four were just seated drinking and chewing their miraa when they all of a sudden started complaining that they cannot see. One of them died immediately while the other two died on their way to the hospital,” said Ogundo.
The fourth person who lost his eyesight is currently recovering at the Kenyatta National Hospital.
The incident prompted local police to conduct a major swoop in the area’s bars in search of the killer brew.
“Police raided the bars on Tuesday in search of the brew whose name has not yet been established,” he added.
