Speaking during the burial ceremony held in Tetu, Nyeri County, Esther Ndumia reflected on the close relationship she shared with the late reverend throughout their 24 years of marriage.
She described him as a devoted husband, faithful church leader, and deeply spiritual man who regularly shared his thoughts, dreams, and personal reflections with her.
According to Esther, the late Reverend Julius Ndumia Ngari sent her a message on Friday, May 1, while driving to church. In the message, he reportedly narrated a dream that had deeply moved him.
She told mourners that her husband described seeing himself going to clean the house of God after leaving behind vegetables and fruits, including cabbages. He also reportedly mentioned seeing himself graduating while dressed in a maroon gown.
Esther said that after reflecting on the dream following his death, she came to believe it carried a spiritual meaning connected to his final journey.
According to her interpretation, the late cleric may have unknowingly been preparing for his transition to heaven.
Only two days after sending the message, Reverend Ndumia was reportedly attacked and killed by unknown assailants at his residence within the church compound in Lanet, Nakuru North Sub-county.
His death shocked family members, church leaders, and residents, many of whom described him as humble, peaceful, and committed to serving the church and community.
The emotional testimony from his widow moved mourners during the burial service, with many reflecting on the mysterious nature of the dream and the events that followed shortly afterward.
Investigations into the killing remain ongoing, with detectives from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations continuing to pursue suspects linked to the attack.
The murder of the cleric has continued to attract national attention, especially after reports emerged that the attackers allegedly disguised themselves as police officers before gaining access to the church compound.
As the family continues mourning, church members and residents have continued calling for justice while remembering Reverend Ndumia as a respected spiritual leader who dedicated his life to ministry and community service.
