The crime scene in Kenya and any other country is ever changing and in the recent times according to police crime data,more teenagers are actively getting involved in robberies. Nairobi is surprisingly recording robbery cases from ladies who are in their college going years. They are sexy,hype and nothing can easily point them out as robbers. This camouflaging effect has made it easy for them to pounce on their unsuspecting victim.
They are not the usual hookers who drug men and sweep them clean,these ones will get head on with you violent if need be. A lady Neemo Mugane was over the weekend attacked by this emerging gang and narrates her ordeal to help others from falling into the same trap:
“I am a victim. Infact I gat a story to share. Was robbed at gunpoint in town by 4 young ladies about 22- 25 years over the weekend. What has led women to these devious forms of crime? These gals looked like they were from campus.
They had great hair, clothes & shoes. It happenned along Moi Avenue next to Kenya Archives. Twas about 8pm. Was from a coffee date with a friend. A farewell date as she was leaving the country later that evening. Twas a pretty special evening. So after saying our goodbyes, naturally i board a mat.
We say our goodbyes outside Kaldis coffe house, next to Ronalo. As I walk past Mr.Price heading to Altona cafe. I hear a bunch of ladies giggling, talking like kawaida girlfriends gossiping. They were walking fast like they were rushing somewhere.
They looked absolutely harmless. It did not cross me they were armed especially outside Mr.Price. That place is so well lit and busy.As i’m busy walking minding my own business I feel a tap on my shoulder I turn and one of them says hi.
Smilling she complements my lipstick Before I even say thanks I feel something cold at the nape of my back. They surround me. It took me 3 secs to realize twas a gun.. Off course i want to scream, run, defend myself but the look on the face of the one with the gun said otherwise.
I had to act “normal” small talk ensued…I had to take a walk with them. Later we shall exchange handbags at a place dim fit for them. I had to comply. They exchange was swift. I had to pretend they were like aquintances.
They demanded a hug, whispering that i am being watched.And if dared let a sound, i’d be nursing a bullet wound. They were more than I thought. They showed me.After the exchange, later i realized the bag given to me belonged to another victim.
A KMTC student. Inside was here credentials and uniform …I have reported the matter to the police. Hoping these CCTV cameras will help curb these gangs. The worst thing is that this is Kenya.Theives do not survive. They disappear.
To think of these ladies wasting their lives like this is sad.Lost my cell, some cash, nixon camera and some EXPENSIVE make up Hivo ndivyo kumekuwanga. Ladies watch out. It can happen to any of you”
