Sunday, March 31, 2024 - A 26-year-old Somali businessman was accosted by motorbike-riding thugs and shot, before being robbed of over $30,000(Ksh 3.97 million).
The incident which
happened on Saturday, March 30, captured two thugs on a motorbike intercepting
the businessman identified as Adan Ali Mohamed, who was also on a motorbike.
Mohamed
had intended to deposit the money at one of the banks at BBS Mall at noon.
However,
upon arrival, he discovered that the bank was closed.
Consequently,
he decided to return home, opting to ride a bodaboda for convenience.
When he
reached around Bulsho car wash on Muratina Street, the thugs accosted him.
One of the thugs shot Abdi and grabbed the money which was wrapped in a
green paper and fled the scene, leaving him writhing in pain.
Eyewitnesses,
including the manager of Bulsho car wash, Abdirashid Ali, recounted the harrowing
incident.
“Immediately I heard the loud
bang, I came out and saw a man on the ground and another one fleeing,” Abdirashid recounted.
The
businessman was rushed to the
nearby Health Gate Hospital, where he is recuperating.
Officers from the Directorate of Criminal
Investigations visited the scene to gather evidence and assess the
situation.
A manhunt
for the thugs has been launched as investigations continue.
