Nairobians at the mercy of deadly gangs

A while ago, I wrote an article about crime in the city of Nairobi. I described the tricks they use to subdue their victims and the hotspots within the metropolis, where you were likely to lose items by being mugged, pick-pocketed, drugged, or even and snatching your phone, as you sit in the matatu or car, taking a call or just scrolling on it, to catch up on social media.

The title of that article was, "The smart thieves of Nairobi and the hot spots in which they operate" Today I want to delve on the same topic, citing an incident I witnessed in the city this week , that left me terrified to the core. In that small restaurant along Halle Selassie Avenue, every person including the service personnel were left speechless, for what they saw.
