Her body was discovered in a Nairobi mortuary on October 2, 2024, following her disappearance last week.
Victoria worked as a taxi driver for four years. Before that, she was a sales officer, managing the logistics of household goods. She made a bold move to join the male-dominated taxi industry and became well-known for her dedication to her job.
Victoria upgraded her vehicle from a small Toyota Vitz to a newer Nissan Serena, although the car was registered under ENK Enterprises Limited, not in her name.
Her troubles began when she was reported missing after driving a passenger from Mombasa to Samburu in Kwale County. After her disappearance, police found her Nissan Serena abandoned in Nakuru.
The car was registered with the National Transport and Safety Authority just a few months earlier, raising questions about how it came to be in Nakuru and the circumstances leading to her death.
There are conflicting reports about Victoria's condition after she went missing. Some say she was found disoriented in Migori County, but her family disputes this claim.
The investigation led to the arrest of a man named Edwin Ngetich Kipkemoi, who was found driving Victoria's Nissan Serena. Authorities are continuing to investigate his role in her disappearance and death.
Victoria's family shared that she had recently left her husband and was the sole caretaker of their three children. They did not provide specific reasons for the breakdown of their marriage, but this personal crisis adds complexity to the case.
This incident has alarmed other taxi drivers in Mombasa, prompting them to call for better safety measures and protections in the industry.
Many drivers feel vulnerable to violence and want to ensure their safety while working.
