On Monday, June 13, the two were apprehended after withdrawing KSh 240,000 from an M-Pesa shop at Mwiki in Kasarani, Nairobi. They are said to have illegally obtained the lady’s bank details and PINs, which they used to illegally transfer money from her account. The man who went to withdraw the money is thought to have been directed by one of the six armed men who were present at the time of the attack.

Two men have been arrested in connection with the daring attack on a woman who was driving into her gated house in Gataka, Ongata Rongai.

The agent of the M-Pesa shop where the money was withdrawn is among the duo. He was arrested and questioned for his role in the illegal transaction.

One of the six armed men who were at the scene of the attack is thought to have instructed the man who went to withdraw the cash.

According to the team, the attackers were led by a former rogue and corrupt police officer who is now on the run.

Photos from the victim’s CCTV Footage

Two of the criminals were armed with handguns, while another has a machete and an AK47 rifle, as seen in the viral video.

The thugs appeared to ask the lady to get out of her car, but she refused. She tried but failed to drive away. The attackers then broke the windows of her vehicle with a panga as others pointed guns on her asking her to forcefully open the door to her car.

One of the robbers, who was wearing a mask, then smashed the driver’s window with her pistol. The robbers dragged the young lady out of the vehicle after successfully smashing and opening the door.

Then they ransacked it and took a few items, presumably money that was in the car. The lady was then dragged to her house. They were pointing a gun at her the entire time she helplessly pleaded with them.

The robbers were seen manhandling her in the house on CCTV. She was pushed onto the couch. They then requested that she remove her high heels before leading her into another room. Other robbers were seen taking valuables and putting them in a bag. Phones and a soundbar were among the items they chose from the house.
