As earlier reported on GOTTA.news, a netizen shared that Njenga was set to do a wedding later this year and had just visited his fianceé’s parents for dowry payments.

“I haven’t received alot of info about him except that he was planning to do his wedding this year. He had just visited his fiancé family last month and paid dowry (ruracio),” Thuku said.

He also disclosed that Jimmy’s uncle is in hospital, however, not confirming if it is as a result of the road accident.

“Stop speeding guys. In this world we are all too busy or too mentally preoccupied to be impressed or amazed by your speeding skills

“The people you overtake in that show off are the same ones who will retrieve your body from the wreckage,” Thuku added.

According to a CCTV footage from the toll station, Njenga’s car hits slow bumps before the station and speed into vehicles being serviced at the station.

The vehicle is then tossed in the air, hits the toll booth before landing on a vehicle at the revenue collection point.
