Fidel, a final-year aerospace engineering student, reportedly left home with friends after informing his family that he would return shortly.
When he failed to come back, his father, Edward Ofuong'o, sent him Ksh25,000 through M-Pesa to support his travel plans and facilitate his return to university.
However, Fidel never returned home or reported back to school. His family became concerned after attempts to reach him by phone went unanswered. His laptop and travel bag were also reportedly found in his room, deepening concerns about his whereabouts.
As relatives intensified their search, they reportedly learned that Fidel had visited several entertainment spots in Kisumu with acquaintances.

As relatives intensified their search, they reportedly learned that Fidel had visited several entertainment spots in Kisumu with acquaintances.
According to family accounts, he became separated from a friend after receiving a phone call that allegedly altered their plans. He was later reportedly taken to different clubs before his whereabouts became unknown.
The family eventually reported him missing at Kombewa Police Station. Shortly afterwards, individuals believed to have been with Fidel reportedly returned his phone and wristwatch, claiming he had given them the items. His relatives questioned the explanation and requested that the belongings be handed over to police.
Police later informed the family that a body had been recovered from River Nyamasaria. Identification documents found on the body reportedly helped confirm that it was Fidel. His remains were taken to the Jaramogi Oginga Odinga Teaching and Referral Hospital Mortuary.
Detectives are treating the death as a suspected murder and are reportedly reviewing CCTV footage from one of the venues he visited. The footage allegedly shows Fidel appearing distressed and involved in a confrontation.
An independent postmortem reportedly found that Fidel died from lack of oxygen and had suffered several injuries, with no evidence indicating drowning. His family is now calling for a comprehensive investigation to establish the events leading to his death and ensure those responsible are brought to justice.
