Kenya’s wealthiest and most philanthropic musician, Kanyi Njagua, popularly known as Jaguar, has hit and killed two people in a car accident that happened yesterday in Kirinyaga County.

According to the police, the musician was driving his Range Rover heading towards Makutano when he lost control and veered off the road before hitting a motorcyclist and his passenger at Rukanga along the Sagana- Makutano road on Wednesday.

NairobiNews adds the motorcyclist, Mugo Mwangi, 21, and his pillion passenger, James Maingi, 21, died on the spot and their bodies were taken to the Kibugi Mortuary.

The police on Thursday said the vehicle, which was later towed to the Sagana Police Station, had
loose chippings.

The musician took to social media to express his distraught about the accident, moments after the story went viral, and said:
“It is with grief that I share this post today. As it is now public, I was involved in a car accident. Sadly, lives were lost in the incident.

“It isn’t any one’s will to wake up and be involved in an accident such as this. My heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of those affected. I would like to assure all concerned that due process of the law is being followed to amicably resolve this.

Jaguar’s Wiki page says he’s arguably the wealthiest and most philanthropic Kenyan artiste as quoted by Entertainment Magazines and Blogs in East Africa.
