Two men have been taken into custody after being seen on camera precariously hanging from a moving Mercedes Benz.
After being caught on camera swinging wildly from the moving car along Mombasa Road, Peter Igadwa Agawy, 23, and Peleg Mosongo Momari, 20, were taken into custody. The Capital Hill Police Station is the place where they are being held.
The incident reportedly happened at approximately nine in the morning on Saturday, April 20.
The duo will be arraigned in court tomorrow (April 23, 2024), even as the driver of the car — one Loise Apata — is still at large.
The vehicle has been been detained at Nairobi Area Traffic Headquarters pending arrest of the female driver.
Transport Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen had highlighted the incident on Monday, April 22 morning, promising that the police would take action against the perpetrators.
“Mr. James Gathogo Njeri this is how your car white Mercedes Benz KCX 959B class E-250 was being driven on Mombasa road in one of those “where is the Minister” moments. We are concerned and a responsible citizen has alerted us. We shall do what we must,” the CS had vowed.
