A client was lured by a random taxi for a cheaper ride. He arrived safely, but his phone & life savings, didn’t. The driver vanished into the night, until a digital trail led DCI to his door. This is the story of tears and a sisal rope. THREAD 🧵

Part 1: THE LURING OFFER

On the night of August 8, 2025, a male complainant was leaving a social joint in Lavington, Nairobi, in the company of a friend. As they were in the process of requesting a ride through a licensed Uber service, they were approached by a man who sweet talked them with a more competitive offer. The man, Fred Atandi Morara, posed convincingly as a taxi driver, enticing the group with the promise of a cheaper fare to their destination.

The victims, seeing an opportunity to save money, accepted the offer and entered Morara’s vehicle, a white Mazda Demio. He then drove them to an Airbnb within the upscale Lavington estate, a ride that appeared normal and uneventful. Little did they know that this short journey was the first step in a meticulously planned financial robbery.

Part 2: THE THEFT AND DIGITAL TRANSFER.

After dropping the clients off at their destination, Morara did not drive away immediately. Seizing a critical opportunity, he made off with the complainant’s mobile phone, which had been left behind in the vehicle. With the phone in his possession, he gained unfettered access to the victim’s financial accounts, exploiting the stored banking applications and mobile money services.

Operating quickly, Morara successfully transferred over KSh 500,000 from the victim’s accounts into several different recipient accounts. To cover his digital tracks and hinder any possible recovery or tracing by authorities, he subsequently deactivated these accounts, effectively making the stolen funds vanish into a labyrinth of financial transactions.

A promising student vanishes after meeting her boyfriend. A month later, a chilling text from her own phone leads detectives to a shallow grave. This is the inside story of the hunt for justice for Faith Kemunto. THREAD 🧵

Part 1: THE LAST MEETING

On the afternoon of July 27, 2025, Faith Kemunto Obino, a 20-year-old recent graduate of Nyamusi Girls’ School, left her family’s home in Kanani village, Nyamira. She was preparing to join Machakos University and had traveled home from Nairobi to finalize her admission. She told her family she was stepping out to meet her boyfriend, Gidion Angisa, a 22-year-old man she had known since their secondary school days. It was meant to be a brief visit; she never returned.

Her disappearance was reported by her parents, Grace Nyaitondi and Charles Obino, at Nyamusi Police Station. Despite initial efforts by local officers, the search yielded no results. For a grueling month, her family endured an agonizing silence, their hope fading with each passing day as both Faith and Gideon had vanished without a trace from the area.

Part 2: THE DISTURBING MESSAGE.

A full month after Faith vanished, a breakthrough came from a place of pure horror. On or around September 1, her brother received a text message from Faith’s phone number. The first message casually requested a transfer of Sh500, which he refused. Then, a second, far more sinister message arrived: “We killed Fay and buried her.” It didn't stop there; the sender provided grimly specific directions to a location near a huge water tank in Maosi village where murram was excavated.

This message was not just a taunt; it was a confession and a map. The family immediately alerted Detective Based in Nyamira, who recognized the gravity of the message. The text provided the first tangible lead in the case, shifting the investigation from a missing person’s case to a homicide and directly implicating the person in possession of her phone.

That Wednesday Wanyonyi kissed his 3 children goodbye and reported for duty, just another day protecting Stima Plaza. But, by sunset, he was statistics. He lay dead, shot at close range. He wasn’t protesting. Now, he’s another name in Kenya’s grim ledger of police brutality. So, what happened? THREAD🧵

Part 1: A Guard’s Last Moments – "I’m Hit!"

On June 25, 2025, at exactly 4:30 PM, Fred Wamale Wanyonyi, a 38-year-old father of three, stood guard at the Kolobot Road entrance of Kenya Power’s Stima Plaza. As Gen Z protests raged nearby, a sudden gunshot pierced the chaos, Fred collapsed, clutching his chest. His fellow guards screamed for help as blood pooled around him. Instead of Nairobi Hospital which was near, he was rushed to Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital, a lower-tier facility,where doctors pronounced him dead on arrival. Why wasn’t he taken to a better-equipped hospital? His family would soon discover this was just the first red flag.

The autopsy revealed a chilling detail: Fred had been shot at close range, yet there was no exit wound, and no bullet inside his body. Forensic experts say this is impossible unless the bullet was surgically removed before the autopsy. Who had access to Fred’s body between Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital and the morgue? Witnesses claim police officers were seen near the ambulance. Was this a deliberate plot to erase evidence?

Part 2: A Widow’s Anguish – "They Murdered My Husband."

Fred’s widow, Jane, received the autopsy report with trembling hands. "How can a bullet just disappear?" she wept. The report confirmed the bullet’s trajectory suggested a downward shot, consistent with a shooter aiming from an elevated position, like a rooftop or armored police truck. Yet without the bullet, no ballistic tests could be done. Hatari Security, Fred’s employer, distanced itself, calling his death "regrettable" but offering no compensation. Jane screamed at Kenya Power’s officials: "Was his life just a ‘regrettable incident’ to you?"

Human Rights activists revealed Mama Lucy Kibaki Hospital had no trauma specialists to handle gunshot wounds, raising questions about why Fred wasn’t taken to Nairobi Hospital, just 15 minutes away. Meanwhile, Kenya Power’s statement omitted key details, like the fact Fred was shot at point-blank range. Jane’s demand for justice was met with silence. "First they took his life," she said, "then they stole the proof."

President William Ruto's recent remarks in Beijing have raised eyebrows in Washington. During a speech at Peking University, Ruto described Kenya and China as "co-architects of a new world order", a phrase that has sparked unease among U.S. policymakers.

The comments come despite Kenya's close security partnership with America, including its recent designation as a Major Non-NATO Ally.

Now, some U.S. lawmakers are questioning whether Kenya is drifting into China's orbit, signaling a potential shift in Africa's geopolitical loyalties.

Why is US and the West losing Africa to China and Russia?

THREAD 🧵

1/4. Why African Leaders Are Turning Away from the U.S.

The U.S. has long treated Africa as a battleground for its own interests, from Cold War conflicts to the so-called "War on Terror." Many African leaders feel disrespected because the U.S. often imposes its policies without considering African needs. For example, U.S. drone strikes in Somalia and support for regime changes (like in Libya) have caused more harm than good, leaving many Africans angry and distrustful.

Now, leaders like Kenya’s President William Ruto are looking for new partners who treat Africa as an equal. China, unlike the U.S., does not interfere in African politics or force its beliefs on others. Instead, China builds roads, railways, and ports, helping African nations grow without harsh conditions. This is why Ruto called Kenya and China "co-architects of a new world order", because Africa wants fair partnerships, not control from the West.

2/4. How China Wins Over Africa While the U.S. Loses Trust.

China’s approach in Africa is simple: invest in infrastructure, trade fairly, and respect African sovereignty. Projects like Kenya’s Standard Gauge Railway and Ethiopia’s industrial parks create jobs and boost economies. Meanwhile, U.S. aid often comes with strict rules, like forcing African governments to change their policies before getting help. Many Africans see this as unfair and disrespectful.

The U.S. also pressures African countries to cut ties with China and Russia, which makes African leaders even more frustrated. Why should Africa obey the U.S. when China offers better deals without interference? This is why more African nations are choosing China, because they want development, not lectures. The U.S. is losing influence because it refuses to treat Africa as an equal partner.
