Football fan Mark Otieno recalled, “He trained football with Mysa… landed a place at New Mathare FC. How he left the club I couldn’t understand, but I later saw him in smaller clubs in Mathare 4A.”
“He totally disappeared from the pitch. For the rest of the football lovers, life went on,” said Otieno, who remembers Wafula winning several medals for his dedication on the field.
Former New Mathare FC goalkeeper Eric Wafula, popularly known as Jagoal or Norlan, was killed over the weekend in a mob justice incident in Pangani, Nairobi.
Wafula and a friend, who is yet to be identified, were lynched by members of the public moments after allegedly snatching a phone.
