The Wormwood by Tade Thompson; Tade Thompson is a British born Yoruba psychiatrist who is best known for his science fiction novels. These African science fiction novels capture the interaction between an invading alien population, the Homians, and the citizens of Nigeria. Teeming with alien life, Wormwood is an extra-terrestrial biodome that embeds itself in Nigerian soil. Wormwood contains some ritualistic acts of healing on sick human bodies which is a common norm in the African society. If filmed, it would be filled with suspense and lots of actions.

His death is not directly linked to the elections, but it is one of the consequences of the indifference that befell Kenya.
