Aircraft went off by itself.
How many planes are we looking at?
Also, it looks like the propeller was turning counter clockwise when it sliced through the other Cessna’s wing.
Of course it’s going counterclockwise, Kenya is on the Southern hemisphere!
Not just Nairobi 
Short AAIB report. No nosewheel steering on an AA5, plus wet grass and wind. I remember them saying they had to replace the whole wing, and Cessna only sold them in pairs.

But only half of it.

So when you fly from the north to the south, you better pass the equator at an oblique angle to reduce stresses when the propeller changes direction!

That’s why crossing ITCZ is so dangerous.

You mean turbofan engines also change directions? What happens with each one of the shafts in those with two or three counter-rotating ones?
And the ones with counter-rotating props?
Maybe that explains why the RAF only flew single-rotating props South of the equator
What a mess!

I believe Cessna 337 is best equipped for such demanding task.

It is, but a differences training is needed for flying south of the equator, as it switches to a canard configuration.
