Ol Kalou MP latest victim of runaway c*rjacking in city
Ol Kalou MP David Kiaraho on Sunday night became among the latest victims of robbery in the city after gunmen carjacked and robbed him of Sh700,000.
He was driving home from a refreshment joint at around 2am when he was waylaid at gunpoint by an armed robber who ordered him to lower the window of the vehicle at the junction of James Gichuru road and Waiyaki Way.
The robber was shortly joined by his two accomplices who forcefully got into the vehicle and commanded him to drive to the Muthiga area within Kikuyu. “He was ordered to lower the car window down and the robber was joined by his two accomplices. The trio then forced their way into the vehicle ordering him to drive to Muthiga,” the police report reads.
The trio blindfolded him and took control of the vehicle, demanding that the MP gives them his ATM and cash. “They then ransacked the motor vehicle and found a total of Sh700,000 which was hidden under the driver’s seat,” the report adds.
He was then abandoned at Miotoni in Karen in his car, unhurt. “The victim was abandoned together with his vehicle as the robbers escaped in a getaway white Toyota Probox whose registration number not taken,” police said.
Three weeks ago, a gang of robbers carjacked the aide of a former governor and used his vehicle in a string of robberies in Nairobi and Kiambu counties.
The victim, Moses Konana, had dropped off a friend at Ruaka and as he drove away, the three armed robbers, who had face masks, confronted him. They, thereafter, bundled him into the boot of his vehicle, a Land Rover Discovery, and embarked on a spate of robberies, and even shot one motorist dead.
