According to her daughter Faith Otieno, her mother left Bungoma for Kilifi to seek prayers since she has been ailing for some time.
"We have been informed of her death by police we are preparing to come over and witness the postmortem exercise. She travelled from Bungoma to Mombasa, she was later to go to Kilifi in search of prayers from a well-known pastor who she believed would heal her," she alleged.

The body has since been moved to the Coast General mortuary, awaiting to undergo postmortem exercise.
