Thursday afternoon,a friend calls me and asks me to drive his car to a Garage. I had to connect from Langata to D.Corner,the shortest route was the new By-pass...which i never knew was a no go Zone.
From Langata on the by-pass you can see Kibera very well,i drove along it and met a black car that was driving into my direction,on seeing me the car turned and slowed down to pick someone,i was happy to get company(just in-case the car sticks in the mud)..The driver of the black small station Wagon(Older versions of Vitz /Daihatsu charade) waved at me and told me lets go(Judas).I drove 100m and he was lost,i slowed down but couldn't see him anywhere..n i decided to drive on.
I passed groups of people who never looked suspicious or even give a look that am on a dangerous zone..2-3 Kms from where i lost Kibera sight,i saw some pot holes full of water and had to slow down..5 guys came from the bush armed with stones and one of them pointed a gun to me(the thought of a bullet missing/hitting me is still vivid in my mind ,as if it happened),i thought of reversing the car,or run over them,but too late....I got hold of an envelope which contained cash(good amount) and threw it under co-drivers sit.the surrendered with hands up,and got out of the car(1st thought,the car is gone n 2nd,human trafficking)..they searched me everywhere n found 150bob(which i think would have angered them even more).They then ordered me into the boot of the car and was told to "lye flat like a fulls-cap" n lying down i did,poured some water on me as the car was being driven,asked me for my ATM and the pin,all along i thought we were headed to the Bank..one guy on the backseat started on me,"where is the Money" i was given some serious blows on the head in order to speak..he then asked for a gun ,but got back with a VERY sharp big looking knife..I spoke,gave out the position of the envelope ,the colour and the amount..That was a scaring moment for me."Under the co-drivers seat,a white envelope with bla bla amount"(I thought i was brave than that)...Anyway the idiots were happy but one more punch,"Why were u lying to me,where 's the rest of the money?"..but they read my honesty or were too exited on the figure turned the car. I was told,"Now its time(all along i was saying silent prayers,which i dint know if they would b the last or the most important in my life) to do what we do to the rest",toka kuja huku mbele...then they all alighted and told me to drive but not to forget to tell the Police..What a relief,my life and the car were spared..Not even a scar. I gave 2 guys a lift as i was looking for company,and they told me its good u surrendered.Pple have died on that road for doubting those guns..and 5 minutes b4 me another car was car jacked. The shock hit me when i tried to think of what would have happened,i don't think i was shaking but am sure i was now speeding the car(almost 100kph at hardy road,not very good). I only got a relief the following Morning... IF YOU CAN,AT ALL COST 1.AVOID LONELY ROAD. 2.IF U HAVE BUNCH OF MONEY,SUBDIVIDE IT. 3.AVOID DRIVING ALONE IF U CAN. 4.ASK ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE ROADS U DON'T KNOW 5...........Add to the list and circulate

Thursday afternoon,a friend calls me and asks me to drive his car to
a
Garage. I had to connect from Langata to D.Corner,the shortest route was the new By-pass...which i never knew was a no go Zone.
From Langata on the by-pass you can see Kibera very well,i drove along it and met a black car that was driving into my direction,on seeing me the car turned and slowed down to pick someone,i was happy to get company(just in-case the car sticks in the mud)..The driver of the black small station Wagon(Older versions of Vitz /Daihatsu charade) waved at me and told me lets go(Judas).I drove 100m and he was lost,i slowed down but couldn't see him anywhere..n i decided to drive on.
I passed groups of people who never looked suspicious or even give a look that am on a dangerous zone..2-3 Kms from where i lost Kibera sight,i saw some pot holes full of water and had to slow down..5 guys came from the bush armed with stones and one of them pointed a gun to me(the thought of a bullet missing/hitting me is still vivid in my mind ,as if it happened),i thought of reversing the car,or run over them,but too late....I got hold of an envelope which contained cash(good amount) and threw it under co-drivers sit.the surrendered with hands up,and got out of the car(1st thought,the car is gone n 2nd,human trafficking)..they searched me everywhere n found 150bob(which i think would have angered them even more).They then ordered me into the boot of the car and was told to "lye flat like a fulls-cap" n lying down i did,poured some water on me as the car was being driven,asked me for my ATM and the pin,all along i thought we were headed to the Bank..one guy on the backseat started on me,"where is the Money" i was given some serious blows on the head in order to speak..he then asked for a gun ,but got back with a VERY sharp big looking knife..I spoke,gave out the position of the envelope ,the colour and the amount..That was a scaring moment for me."Under the co-drivers seat,a white envelope with bla bla amount"(I thought i was brave than that)...Anyway the idiots were happy but one more punch,"Why were u lying to me,where 's the rest of the money?"..but they read my honesty or were too exited on the figure turned the car.
I was told,"Now its time(all along i was saying silent prayers,which i dint know if they would b the last or the most important in my life) to do what we do to the rest",toka kuja huku mbele...then they all alighted and told me to drive but not to forget to tell the Police..What a relief,my life and the car were spared..Not even a scar.
I gave 2 guys a lift as i was looking for company,and they told me its good u surrendered.Pple have died on that road for doubting those guns..and 5 minutes b4 me another car was car jacked.
The shock hit me when i tried to think of what would have happened,i don't think i was shaking but am sure i was now speeding the car(almost 100kph at hardy road,not very good). I only got a relief the following Morning...
IF YOU CAN,AT ALL COST 1.AVOID LONELY ROAD. 2.IF U HAVE BUNCH OF MONEY,SUBDIVIDE IT. 3.AVOID DRIVING ALONE IF U CAN. 4.ASK ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE ROADS U DON'T KNOW 5...........Add to the list and circulate
Pole sana ndugu , at least you've lived to give out a story and a horrendous one.
I hope someone is reading this and will act accordingly.

It is better to die in dignity than in the ignomity of ambiguous generosity!

those thugs on that by pass tend o be very crude. If you are speeding they hurl a stone to break ur windscreen from no where. That way they scare you and on slowing down you see guys with guns (Ak47's). I know of people who have had their head smashed and they were driving four by fours.

Man is a gregarious animal and enjoys agreement as cows will graze all the same way to the side of a hill!

those thugs on that by pass tend o be very crude. If you are speeding they hurl a stone to break ur windscreen from no where. That way they scare you and on slowing down you see guys with guns (Ak47's). I know of people who have had their head smashed and they were driving four by fours.
This incident comes from the same script as this one here on Daily Nation<http://www.nation.co.ke/News/Cases%20of%20rape%20and%20sodomy%20on%20the%20increase%20/-/1056/901318/-/m5u1f2/-/index.html>only that the cast are the different but the storyline is the same. I only wonder what really goes inside a criminal mind before and after coming a heinous crime? Could it be that morals are decaying, or they long time decayed? Sometimes even thinking of the police help, does not in any case solve the rate at which we re experiencing these cases of crime. My opinion!!!

It is not as if the police do not know,,, they know... and fear is they may be getting a cut... otherwise, with all these reports, why not lay a simple ambush using personal vehicles ?? The case above was reported, and the only response from police is, " Kwani you dont know that place is dangerous...?" Matter was closed like that. Writing statements in that OB book is like adding a greeting in a huge Christmas card (populated by several others of your relatives ) for your grandfather, who actually never reads them..
FYI,i never reported.I wanted to but was discouraged... no need of wasting time. I think reporting helps the police to know the cut to expect from the thugs(team mates)cause as you report you report how much they took,what else...bla bla bla.(If you report 10k,they definitely know how much to expect.)

Ive been through an experience, I recently learnt that once you record the incidence and get an OB number, you need to ensure its handed over to an investigative officer. Its a tedious process but if you do not report, you have no legal backing to do anything after that. Im a believer in the system. Not because it works but because if we all use it(despite it being discouraging) we can have legal backing to come back later and say , I tried and they did nothing. Im also a strong advocate for people to be part of neighbourhood committees. A lot of these issues are solvable in the long term when communities around these areas come together. Im part of ours and its not easy but we are slowly making progress in improving the security in our area. The next step is to come together with other estates in our area and lodge a common complaint to the authorities. When you do this in large numbers they cannot ignore Kenyans have been disillusioned and lost the sense of community power. Lets not wait for the police and the "govt".

I agree with you especially on the second part,(Communal security),I don't get how all the people i met on that road could not give me a hint of danger ahead and am sure they knew very well am in dangerous waters..I met over 50 people.Different groups,other walking alone,and none gave me a hint. Lets be human,if you see me walking in the direction of a ditch,tell me,I'd rather tell u i know about it than be sorry that u dint warn me...

Reporting (with the wrong figures) creates a rift between the Police and the Gangsters. You should always report, but give them the wrong figures. After all they will not recover the money for you. They simply get their cut and forget about you. It's an issue about your conscience though, but here I believe it's worth creating the rift. -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube

Thursday afternoon,a friend calls me and asks me to drive his car to a Garage. I had to connect from Langata to D.Corner,the shortest route was the new By-pass...which i never knew was a no go Zone.
From Langata on the by-pass you can see Kibera very well,i drove along
it
and met a black car that was driving into my direction,on seeing me the car turned and slowed down to pick someone,i was happy to get company(just in-case the car sticks in the mud)..The driver of the black small station Wagon(Older versions of Vitz /Daihatsu charade) waved at me and told me lets go(Judas).I drove 100m and he was lost,i slowed down but couldn't see him anywhere..n i decided to drive on.
I passed groups of people who never looked suspicious or even give a look that am on a dangerous zone..2-3 Kms from where i lost Kibera sight,i saw some pot holes full of water and had to slow down..5 guys came from the bush armed with stones and one of them pointed a gun to me(the thought of a bullet missing/hitting me is still vivid in my mind ,as if it happened),i thought of reversing the car,or run over them,but too late....I got hold of an envelope which contained cash(good amount) and threw it under co-drivers sit.the surrendered with hands up,and got out of the car(1st thought,the car is gone n 2nd,human trafficking)..they searched me everywhere n found 150bob(which i think would have angered them even more).They then ordered me into the boot of the car and was told to "lye flat like a fulls-cap" n lying down i did,poured some water on me as the car was being driven,asked me for my ATM and the pin,all along i thought we were headed to the Bank..one guy on the backseat started on me,"where is the Money" i was given some serious blows on the head in order to speak..he then asked for a gun ,but got back with a VERY sharp big looking knife..I spoke,gave out the position of the envelope ,the colour and the amount..That was a scaring moment for me."Under the co-drivers seat,a white envelope with bla bla amount"(I thought i was brave than that)...Anyway the idiots were happy but one more punch,"Why were u lying to me,where 's the rest of the money?"..but they read my honesty or were too exited on the figure turned the car.
I was told,"Now its time(all along i was saying silent prayers,which i dint know if they would b the last or the most important in my life) to do what we do to the rest",toka kuja huku mbele...then they all alighted and told me to drive but not to forget to tell the Police..What a relief,my life and the car were spared..Not even a scar.
I gave 2 guys a lift as i was looking for company,and they told me its good u surrendered.Pple have died on that road for doubting those guns..and 5 minutes b4 me another car was car jacked.
The shock hit me when i tried to think of what would have happened,i don't think i was shaking but am sure i was now speeding the car(almost 100kph at hardy road,not very good). I only got a relief the following Morning...
IF YOU CAN,AT ALL COST 1.AVOID LONELY ROAD. 2.IF U HAVE BUNCH OF MONEY,SUBDIVIDE IT. 3.AVOID DRIVING ALONE IF U CAN. 4.ASK ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE ROADS U DON'T KNOW 5...........Add to the list and circulate
Pole sana ndugu , at least you've lived to give out a story and a horrendous one.
I hope someone is reading this and will act accordingly.
