Wegesha, a beloved businesswoman, was stabbed to death allegedly by her husband, Jack Bamboo, who is still at large. Following her death, people from all walks of life trooped to social media platforms to mourn her in earnest, especially since she was the life of the party at many events.
Speaking to TUKO.co.ke, Wegesha’s nephew, Jano The Governor, shared that the entertainer’s fanbase, family, and friends in Nairobi will be able to view her body before it heads home for burial. “The body of the late Sheila Wegesha will leave Shallom Mortuary on May 27, at 4 pm and proceed to Umoja Tena Grounds for viewing and night vigil,” he shared. “On May 28, Wegesha’s remains will leave Umoja at 4 am for her final journey to her burial place at Nyalkinyi Village, Kanyada in Homa Bay,” he added.

Kanyada is the home of Wegesha’s first husband, Mr. Odoyo, who has amicably agreed to bury her. “When a lady dies among the Luo, she is buried at the home of the man who paid dowry for her. In this case, Bamboo was just a boyfriend,” he said. “He had never taken any dowry to her home. He is supposed to have paid dowry, which would be used to return the cows given by the first husband, but he never did that,” he added.
Wegesha’s untimely demise has left many wondering why she did not walk out of her marital home before things escalated to fatal levels. In a video that emerged after her death, Wegesha happily danced, showing different moves while revelers watched in awe. Her legacy as a vibrant and larger-than-life personality will be remembered by those who knew her.
