Kaluma Boy confirms bodaboda rider died en route to his Othaya fundraiser
By Steve Ireri, October 3, 2025TikToker Vincent Kaluma, alias Kaluma Boy, has confirmed the tragic death of a bodaboda rider who died while travelling to support his fundraiser in Othaya on Sunday, September 28, 2025.
In a TikTok video shared on Friday, October 3, 2025, the content creator revealed that the rider’s name was Peterson Wambugu, also known as Mohamed Moha, and expressed deep sorrow over the incident.
According to Kaluma, the rider had been on his way to the event to show support for the fundraiser, which was organised to raise money for his ailing father, left bedridden after a debilitating stroke.
He explained that the young man’s dedication to attending the event highlighted the selfless spirit of those who came to stand with him and his family during their most difficult time.
“Hello, my people, I am very sad to announce this. On September 28, a young man fell off his bodaboda while on his way to support my event. His name is Peterson Wambugu, also known as Mohamed Moha. I am sorry to share this news, and may his soul rest in peace,” he said.
He noted that the rider’s death, though tragic, was beyond anyone’s control and should not be blamed on anyone, emphasising that it was a reminder of life’s unpredictability and the need to cherish those who dedicate themselves to helping others.
“Imagine, he died while moving and going to do charity. We cannot blame God; everything happens according to His plan,” Kaluma added.
Kaluma further called on his followers, friends, and the local community to come together and organise a respectful burial for the young rider, ensuring that his contribution and sacrifice were properly honoured.
He described the rider’s passing as a heavy blow personally, acknowledging the emotional impact on him amidst the success of the fundraiser.
“We need to plan to give him a proper and decent burial together. His death has affected me deeply, knowing he was coming all the way just to help and support the cause. May his soul rest in peace,” Kaluma added.
The Othaya event had already drawn hundreds of young Kenyans, particularly Generation Z TikTokers, who had mobilised to support Kaluma Boy and his family.
