AKOTHEE OPENS UP ABOUT NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE IN WESTLANDS

By  | 

Popular Kenyan musician Akothee is counting her blessings after surviving a terrifying ordeal that unfolded in Westlands

After enjoying lunch with her childrenAkothee visited the third floor of a building to prepare for rehearsals scheduled for the following day. However, what began as a routine visit quickly turned into a nightmare. “As we were wrapping up, someone suddenly pushed the door open and shouted, ‘Get out! Get out! We are not safe!’” Akothee shared. “Confused, we rushed out, only to encounter thick fumes filling the escape stairs. The smoke was dense and dark, and there was no visible exit.” 

Akothee and her group were forced to retreat from the stairs due to worsening fumes. “Then came the chilling warning: Avoid the stairs! If we couldn’t use the stairs, what were we supposed to do?,” she said. 

With no clear escape route and the crowd outside recording the incident instead of helping, Akothee prepared for the worst. She entrusted her car keys to a trusted friend, asking him to deliver her car to her children should the unthinkable happen. “In a desperate moment, I spotted Frank from Muma Pics. I threw him my car keys, trusting him to deliver my car home to my kids. Just when all seemed lost, help arrived. A ladder was brought, and we were directed to make our way to the second floor.

Once home, the gravity of the ordeal overwhelmed her, bringing her to tears as she reflected on her near-death experience. “It wasn’t until I got home that the full weight of the ordeal hit me. I broke down in tears, overwhelmed by the thought of what my children’s lives and those who depend on me would have been like in my absence. God, if time comes for me to rest don’t let me panic, let me sleep in peace without a struggle.”
