The Lower Eastern Times Opening The Third Eye
A woman was left crying for help after two men allegedly confronted and robbed her in broad daylight near Globe Roundabout in Nairobi.
A video widely shared on social media captures the woman walking along a busy road before one of the men approaches her, apparently attempting to take her phone and handbag.
The situation quickly escalates into a physical struggle as the woman tries to hold on to her belongings.
She can be heard screaming for assistance as a second man joins the confrontation. The two men appear to overpower and pull her as she struggles to protect her possessions.
The woman remains visibly distressed throughout the incident, repeatedly calling for help as pedestrians and motorists continue moving through the area.
The alleged attack, which took place in a busy section of Nairobi, has renewed concerns about street crime and public safety in the capital, including in areas with heavy pedestrian and vehicular traffic.
The footage has generated widespread reactions online, with Kenyans questioning how such an incident could occur in a crowded area without immediate intervention.
Some social media users called for increased police patrols, expanded surveillance and faster emergency response services in busy public areas.
One X user, Naughty, described the situation as a security crisis, asking how many more Nairobi residents would have to suffer before authorities take action.
Another user, JaHomaBay, blamed the government for what they described as deteriorating security in Nairobi, alleging that gangs and criminals were increasingly terrorising residents.
The user also called for the military to be deployed in the capital, although such comments represent individual opinions expressed online and do not reflect government policy.
It remains unclear whether the men captured in the footage have been identified or arrested, and there was no immediate official statement on the incident.
