Media personality Sheila Mwanyigha has reflected on her last moments with her father, Gideon Victor Mwanyigha. The late was a director of the Kenya Police Band. Reminiscing about her last moments with her dad, Sheila took to her social media. "This is probably the hardest week of the year for my family and I. After spending an evening visiting with my father while he was in the hospital, the following morning, I was holding his face and kissing his forehead and wondering why he was so cold and could someone bring him a blanket. Dad was gone."

He had to step in and raise his siblings when his own mother died." Sheila described the dad as a "musical genius who could play most instruments- but especially the guitar, dad’s talent opened doors for him at work in the Police Band, and also in the ad world where actual musicians created catchy jingles."

"Music saw my father rise up the police force to become the Director of Music of the Kenya Police Band. With him conducting the band, there was never a flat note. Oh no, not with dad! He was also an Assistant Commissioner of Police and received recognition for his work, including a Head of State Commendation, an honour that not many police officers- or even civilians are accorded."
