Monday, October 12, 2026 - Two men posing as City Council askaris have been captured on camera harassing a motorbike rider near Kariobangi Roundabout in Nairobi as they demanded a bribe.

The two men, who appeared intoxicated, roughed up the rider while accusing him of flouting traffic rules.

Their conduct has raised concerns over the growing number of individuals impersonating law enforcement officers to intimidate members of the public and extort money from them.

In the video, the rider is seen parting with KSh50 as the two men continued demanding more money.

The area around Kariobangi Roundabout has been described as a hotspot for criminals masquerading as law enforcers to harass unsuspecting motorists and riders.
