A resident in the town identified as Daniel Muthomi Mbungu says Ngwaci used to abuse various substances, among them miraa (khat plant) and cigarettes, and he was in awful condition.

"Whenever he got a coin, he would rush to buy miraa and enjoy it without a care in the world.

"Ngwaci was used to moving from one club to another, carrying a bottle containing tea alongside muguka. He started chewing his favourite stimulus from the Mitheru bus stage to Chuka Town. His only business was muguka,."
