The late Prof. George Magoha's farewell caravan has left Lee Funeral Home, ahead of his burial which is set for the 11th of February 2023.
His casket will make stops through some of the places that defined Prof Magoha, to allow the public to pay their respects.
Eyo Dancers performed a special dance for a special ritual associated with the Nigerian elders.
The practice is said to cleanse the dead from any grudges against living beings.
In Nigeria, the cleansing ceremony is meant to be conducted by elderly men but because they are in Kenya, it has been done by young boys.
Starehe boys and Starehe Girls band performed a song while waiting for the body to leave.
Magoha having spent 15 years of his early career in Nigeria and marrying a Nigerian woman was considered an elder amongst Nigerians.
Some of the places the caravan will stop at include the College of Health Sciences-University of Nairobi, the Kenya Medical Practitioners and Dentists Council Headquarters, the Nigerian High Commission, St. George’s Primary School, the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) Offices along Dennis Pritt Road, State House Girls High School, and Starehe Boys Centre.
