Locals who spoke to K24 Digital say that the club is notorious of flouting Covid-19 rules since it is associated with a prominent politician in the Western region.
"People fill this club, especially college students, in total defiance of the Covid-19 outlines that are observed by other clubs and bars. The management often says that they have bought off the police and that they know the high and mighty in Trans Nzoia county," a resident revealed.
Local now want the management to be forced to adhere to the set rules.
Police commander Jecinter Wesonga confirmed the incident saying they released the body to the family to be interred as per the Muslim burial rites.
