There are streets in Nairobi that are considered
the most dangerous to be at http://www.arrivesafekenya.com/2014/09/the-most-dangerous-streets-in-nairobi.html, but generally it is also possible to be robbed of
your belongings in the less dangerous streets.
These criminals are aware that people are discovering their tricks each
day; therefore they come up with new tactics to rob from time to time. These are some of the tricks used by criminals to
rob innocent victims of their belongings on the streets of Nairobi.
Ø The
criminals may wait for people who more especially are buying phone covers from
particular shops along the streets. As you are negotiating for the cover the
seller will tell you to show them your phone so that they can give you the
cover, as the process is going on someone will pass near you and leave some
powder like substance on your face then the seller tells you to wipe the powder
not knowing that you are inhaling as you wipe it.
Ø You
may be walking along the streets, all over a sudden you see an envelope that
looks like it has got a lot of cash in it. From nowhere someone may pick it and
as a way of making sure that you do not tell anyone, he suggests that you go
share whatever is in it between the two of you. If you agree to follow him he will direct you
to some deserted street then you are robbed of your cash and left with
nothing.
Ø Be
careful on crowded streets as thugs can easily open your bag and take your cash
without you realizing anything.
Ø These
criminals wait for their unsuspecting victims at ATMs outlets, outside bank
entrances or mobile money transfer agents and follow them and without anyone
around suspecting anything they rob innocent victims in broad daylight, yes this is crime in Nairobi.
Ø The
canning criminals also use a gang of innocent-looking women who approach their
victims and rob them in broad daylight. A gang may surround you and ask you to
pretend that they are your friends as you walk on the busy street. That is how they will rob and leave you
penniless.
