A CCTV footage has emerged showing the exact moment Lilian Waithera an employee at the National Hospital Insurance Fund, NHIF was shot along Kaunda street in Nairobi CBD.

The footage which was aired on NTV showe Waithera walking in the streets in the company of her female colleague Damaris Achieng. 

They walk on the pavement as they make their way past a bank located on the street at 5:12 pm. A few minutes later, they cross the road on the other side of Kaunda street and walk for a while. Lilian comes to an abrupt stop three seconds after 5:13pm and is seen looking down and moving backwards.

Damaris also stops and her attention focuses on her colleague who appears to be struggling with movement.

Business proceeds normally on the busy streets for some time before a crowd gathers around where Lilian had collapsed.

Her colleague called an ambulance, which arrived quickly, but the responders declared her dead at the scene.

Detectives have ruled out the possibility that she was accidentally or coincidentally shot with preliminary investigations indicating that Waithera was the target.

According to police reports, Waithera was shot from an elevated angle with the bullet penetrating her body through the collarbone before stopping in the lungs.

Her family said she had no fear nor did she speak of any threats before her death.
