It was a sad scene in Mbotela Street, Nairobi, as neighbors gathered to bid farewell to their fallen hero.
Otuoma grew up in Mbotela, where his passion for football began, and residents paid their last respects.
Earlier that day, her family had held a memorial service for her at CCA Johera Church, where Racheal Otuoma introduced their daughter to the public for the first time.
A video shared online showed the grieving mother hugging the little girl wearing a white Rangers FC t-shirt with the name Otuoma on the back.
“I don't have much to say but I thank everyone for their help,” said Racheal in pain as she stopped herself from crying.
Then he informed the girl by saying:
“This is Kimberly Otuoma. We leave everything to God.”
However, Kimberly said nothing as they walked down the stage.
Many Kenyans noted that the girl looks a lot like her father.
Clementine Papillion Kirkpatrick:
“Ah, he looks exactly like his father!”
Carolyn Dave:
“Poor girl may never have felt her father's love.”
Bimoh Judie:
“At least Racheal cared about her father in his time of need.”
Lynette Atieno:
“He looks like his father.”
Red Tissue:
“Another day of eating with strangers.”
