Family shares details behind accident that claimed TikToker Baba Mona

The family of Baba Mona, also known as Kevin Oselu, who tragically died in a road accident, has shared more information about his death.

Baba Mona, his daughter Mona, and two sisters died in a car accident on Friday, February 24, while travelling to Kisumu County.

Baba Mona's brother, Albert, said that the car they were travelling in had mechanical issues that were apparent even before they departed.

Albert explained, "Kevo (Baba Mona alipigia mwenye gari akamwambia gari haiwaki. Uyo mtu akamwambia hio gari haijawahi msumbua, labda ni mafuta. Kevo akamwambia gari iko na full tank. Akajaribu tena haikuwaka. Ilifaa watoke 5 wakatoka 6 asubui juu ya gari.

(Kevo called the car owner informing him the engine was not starting, but the owner said the car had never presented any mechanical hitches maybe it was fuel which Baba Mona said was in full. He tried starting the engine again until 6am yet they were supposed to have left by 5am)," Albert told YouTuber Ajuang Junior.
