Thursday, November 27, 2025 - A young boy who had been pretending to be crippled to solicit money from unsuspecting passersby was recently caught in Nairobi’s Central Business District, leaving many bystanders astonished.
Eyewitnesses say the boy would sit in busy streets, feigning
disability and appealing for donations.
His act fooled well-wishers until city council askaris
intervened.
The method he used to fake his condition has since been
revealed in a viral video, sparking reactions across social media.
In the footage, the boy is seen being asked to stand up
after his cover was blown, revealing that he was perfectly able-bodied.
Watch the video.
