Robin Obino, People Daily reporter, dies after being knocked down by matatu

Journalist are yet again in mourning following the death of upcoming journalist Robin Obino in a road accident on Thursday July 5th 2018.

According to reports, Obino, a reporter with People Daily, was following the story of the girl who went missing from Ngara Girls’ High School when he was knocked down by a speeding matatu as he crossed the road near Muthaiga Police Station.

Obino, who has previously worked for Kenya Today and GTV, joined People Daily late last year and had begun to make a mark as a prolific writer before the cruel hand of death nipped his career in the bud.

“He was on the beat with other colleagues who work for K24 TV but he was left behind so he took a matatu. It appears he alighted past where he was supposed to and was knocked down as he attempted to cross the road,” said a colleague.

Police took the body to City Mortuary after the 2pm tragedy.

Colleagues have taken to social media to express their shock and grief.
