Shocking Experience ladies!!
She boarded a Matatu in Town heading towards Nairobi West at about 6 PM on Sunday. She chose the front seat next to the Driver. There were other people in the Matatu, so she did not think danger awaited her! Somewhere along the route, with the Matatu stopped to Pick up passengers, the person sitting on her left side showed her a Knife and the Matatu Driver produced a Shringe! The Manamba had now moved forward to block the View of other Passenger and pressed her down as the Driver Injected her with a Sedative!
She woke about an Hour and Half later in Langata Cemetery! Samaritans Brought her Home....thoroughly shocked, confused and traumatised!. We rushed her to hospital and commenced Preventative Treatment immediately.
POOR THING HAD BEEN REPEATEDLY RAPED!!!
Lessons learned:
1. Ladies should Avoid the Front Seat unless you know the Matatu or the Crew... Hospital Authorities told us this happens a lot!
2. If you Pass out on the Front seat, other Passengers will assume that you are a friend of the Driver!
3. All the Injections are administered by the Driver or an Accomplice.
4. Avoid Plain white Nissans. Use the known Matatus with Multi Colours. My niece couldn't remember anything about the Matatu.
5. Board Matatus at designated points controlled by other 'Massai Touts'...
here you can find a schedule of Departures.
Send this to anyone you know who might be at risk!!
