MOTORISTS BEWARE

It is evident that criminals try all angles to lure their prey.  They are very much willing to go to any extent in order to be able to get what you have worked so hard for.  There have been several incidences and some motorists have been victims to this. Those who are lucky enough to escape the trap and tricks that criminals use to carjack and rob might have found someone to warn them before they could think of stopping to help.

It is just human to see someone in need and volunteer to help.  But in some cases other criminals will use different tactics to take advantage of your generosity.  People get robbed or hijacked in broad daylight and one is left helpless not knowing what to do and this is the height of crime in Nairobi/Kenya. 

You will find them on some of the routes that are most likely not frequented with many matatus.  In most cases there will be a distressed man holding a little wrapped baby and besides him there could lay someone who seems unconscious and in some cases there could also be a boda boda (motorcycle) guy just across the road. 

These people will pretend and when they spot a motorist they try stopping him/her seeking for help, once you stop to assist them they just turn on you and you end up becoming their victim.  

This is quite disturbing because it most likely denies genuine people help because it is hard to identify who is genuinely seeking for help and the other way round.

Some of the routes that are frequented by these criminals include; along Forest road, Museum Hill road, State house road etc.

I believe this information will be able to help those of us who are not aware of this and you will be able to arrive safe at your intended destination. Get to know how criminals operate and identify the most dangerous routes in Nairobi.

Beware and arrive safe!!!!
