Narok, Kenya: Dennis Nyakeri, the man who was seen desperately trying to get into Utumishi Senior School on the day 16 girls tragically lost their lives in a deadly inferno, has shared heartbreaking words after losing his daughter.
Nyakeri was speaking during a meeting at his home where the community and politician David Osiany had visited to console him.
Dennis Nyakeri, a tour operator and Rebecca Maina, a pastor, were in a church service at home when Osiany arrived.

“I avoided eye contact with Dennis when I was ushered in to sit, because in seeing his pain, I was going to lose my ‘manliness’ and shed a tear of communal grief,”said Osiany.
In the service led by Fountain of Life Church Bishop Mureu and his dear wife, one could feel a sense of emptiness, pain, anger and confusion.
“It is the pain that makes one question God. It was the kind of pain that seemed for a moment to obscure the clarity of Jesus Christ,” observed Osiany.
What was Nyakeri’s message?
During the service, a parent of another child at Utumishi who was a close friend of Sheryl (the departed girl), recounted their conversation with Dennis earlier.
“She said Dennis referred to the Bible’s Psalm 90:10, which states that The length of our days is seventy years—or eighty, if we have the strength… And then Dennis paused and asked, where does 15 years come in How does God allow my 15 year old to die?” asked Nyakeri.
“At that point, I had lost it all. I broke down; when I stood to speak, I was a mess, I must confess. I told them that I did not know anyone there. I had never met Dennis, nor his wife my whole life. I am not a parent in Utumishi, not from Narok not a fellow tour operator of Dennis not Kisii like Dennis, nor am I Kikuyu like his dear wife. I was just a man, who felt the pain of his fellow man, took himself alone to go and share this Jesus and to take love to a wounded soul,” hesaid.
