Qwaachi broke down in tears as he spoke about Hajia 40-40’s death, claiming that she had been going through a lot of stress and pressure to keep her business running.

“The poor girl was battling a lot. A lot of you did not know. Hajia was really going through a lot. She was just not saying it. She only confided in a few selected people. How many of you knew that she was even picking a taxi and a trotro at a point in time?
"She died a painful death because she was suffering. Hajia was at her lowest moment. You didn't even consider the baby. I am even sad. I can't even close my eyes and sleep. She was battling so many things and was not telling anybody," he said.

Qwaachi said the news particularly hit him hard because Hajia 40-40 was the mother of a very young child.

He also alleged that she had possibly been poisoned by some close friends jealous of her.
