Two operations managers at Nicco Sacco have been charged with being accessories to a felony after allegedly conspiring to conceal evidence and helping the driver and conductor of a minibus flee following an accident that claimed the life of a 19-year-old student.

Whines Momanyi Mogire and Alex Mwai Kabuthi are accused of jointly agreeing on June 5 to hide the Isuzu minibus that was involved in the fatal crash, and facilitating the escape of the crew members to evade arrest.

The incident occurred when passenger Eugene Mutuku, a 19-year-old final-year student on industrial attachment at a health facility along Thika Road, reportedly fell from the moving minibus near Radio Waumini on the Thika Road service lane. The vehicle then ran over him.
