Eric Omondi: We would get calls from places as far as Mombasa to go pick our brother 

Kenyans are still in shock after Eric Omondi’s elder brother passed away just hours after being introduced to Kenyans. Eric’s brother, Joseph Omondi, a drug addict, had just been traced by Eric and he was hoping will be taken back to the rehab only to pass away later.

Omondi has now come out to share the incident, saying the family is suspecting a cousin might have introduced him to the drugs. In an interview published on SDE, the Eric opened up saying that he’s brother died because of the drugs.

Didn’t have the will

“Have you seen him?” he asked Omondi after he was asked if something else might have killed him. “There is no doubt that the drugs killed him.”

“We had a cousin who was dating a white man. She is the one who we knew was using drugs. When Joseph started hanging out with her she must have introduced him to the vice.”

Omondi added that rehab didn’t help his bother because he didn’t have a strong will.

“He would come out clean and then, out of the blues, slip out of our sight and go missing,” he says. “We would only get calls from places as far as Mombasa: “Come pick your brother. He is in Mombasa. He is very high.”

Adding:

“If an addict is not mentally prepared to stop they will still relapse because drugs always have a certain appeal for addicts.”
