According to an eye-witness that preferred anonymity, Mugabi gently crossed the road after waving down a boda boda rider, as he negotiated with the rider, a car rammed into him before speeding off to an unknown destination.
The witness adds that the driver who wasn’t running so fast instantly accelerated speed after Mugabi flew 20 metres through the air to land on the tarmac road. He died instantly.
