The mysterious and shocking death of Susan Kamengere Njoki, the CEO and founder of Toto Touch, has ignited national outrage and intensified calls for justice, following revelations that she was manually strangled while in hospital care.
Njoki, a well-known figure in Kenya’s tech and entrepreneurial circles, died on July 15 at the Chiromo Group of Hospitals, Braeside branch, just one day after allegedly being forcibly taken from her home and injected against her will. A postmortem report has confirmed that her cause of death was manual strangulation, shifting the case from alleged medical malpractice to a potential homicide.
In the days leading up to her death, Njoki made a series of chilling posts on social media and audio recordings in which she described being abducted from her Kileleshwa residence by four individuals, two men and two women, who forcibly injected her and transported her to Chiromo Hospital without her consent. She explicitly named her husband, Alois Ngure, and her psychiatrist, Dr. Onyancha, as having orchestrated the intervention without any court authorization.
Njoki, who had a diagnosed history of bipolar disorder, insisted she was in full control of her condition and voluntarily sought treatment when necessary. Her family supported this claim, noting she had been actively engaged with mental health services at Aga Khan Hospital and had even scheduled a job interview with an international company shortly before her abduction. “How can a mad woman have such a high-level interview?” Njoki questioned in one of her recordings.
Her social media post was subsequently deleted and her phone reportedly confiscated, further raising suspicions. Family members say they were denied access to her at the hospital and were informed of her death shortly after their visit was turned down.
The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has opened a formal inquiry into the circumstances surrounding Njoki’s death. Her husband has been arrested and is assisting with investigations. Chiromo Hospital has said it is fully cooperating with authorities and has provided all necessary documentation.
This high-profile case has drawn widespread attention and sparked renewed debates about mental health care ethics, patient rights, and the potential for misuse of psychiatric authority. Business leaders, tech entrepreneurs, and human rights advocates across the country have expressed solidarity with Njoki’s family, demanding transparency and accountability.
Njoki’s family is now calling for an independent autopsy and a full judicial inquest into her death.
“She did not die from mental illness. She was killed,” a family spokesperson stated. “We will not rest until those responsible are held accountable.”
As investigations continue, the nation watches closely, seeking answers to what has become one of the most disturbing cases involving mental health and personal freedom in recent memory.
