The final hours of veteran gynaecologist Dr Job Obwaka are now the subject of a dark, unfolding mystery, one that investigators say is tangled in intimacy, secrecy, and the chilling possibility of poison.
Police say the 83-year-old Dr Obwaka spent his last day not in a hospital ward but inside a quiet Kitengela home, visiting a woman who, detectives now believe, was not just a casual acquaintance but a long-time secret lover.
What followed, according to emerging accounts, reads like the opening scene of a crime thriller. The two reportedly shared a meal. Hours later, the doctor suddenly fell ill.
Then came the collapse, the rush and the silence.
He was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital.
A meal, a moment, a mystery
Investigators are now retracing those final moments with forensic precision. Samples of food consumed that day have been collected, while toxicology tests are expected to determine whether poison played a role in his abrupt death.
Even more striking are claims, circulating in both police filings and media reports, that the pair had been romantically involved for years, their relationship stretching back as far as 2015.
Inside the house, detectives suspect, the answers may lie.
According to the details emerging from the probe, the woman at the centre of the case, now detained as a key person of interest, was with the doctor in his final hours.
Authorities have sought more time to hold her as they piece together what they describe as a “complex” investigation involving a deeply personal relationship.
A short video circulating online adds another haunting layer: after eating, the doctor reportedly asked for water moments before his condition deteriorated rapidly.

It remains to be seen whether that detail proves crucial.
The post-mortem, conducted Tuesday, is expected to bring investigators closer to the truth.
