Friday, May 9, 2025 - Detectives are investigating an incident where a businessman was robbed of Sh7 million on Friday morning moments after he had withdrawn the money from a bank.
The incident happened along the busy Mama Ngina Street in
Nairobi.
The victim had walked from Absa Bank where he withdrew the cash
and was delivering it to a forex bureau when he was confronted by a gang at
about 9.47 am.
Security cameras captured the drama.
The group of about eight seemed to have prior information on
the money the victim had before they struck.
They escaped on foot as the confused businessman raised an
alarm in vain.
Police were later informed of the incident and declared
investigations had been launched.
This is the latest such incident to happen in the recent
days where people are attacked and robbed of cash moments after leaving banks.
Last week, another victim was robbed of Sh 307,000 money he
was to pay construction workers in Kitengela.
He was robbed by people posing as police officers.
There was no immediate comment from the bank as officials
there said the matter is under probe.
Past investigations have linked such incidents to rogue bank
staff who leak information to thugs about transactions of their clients.
Investigations have also been linked to prior information
from the clients’ side to the attacks.
Other thugs stay in banks pretending to be customers with an
aim of noticing those withdrawing money for attacks, police say.
