The alleged drugging and robbery in Utawala
The post accompanying the footage explained that a friend of the person who shared the video had recently lost several valuable household items under suspicious circumstances, with the loss linked to the two women seen in the clip.
“We are sharing these in the hope that anyone who may recognise them can come forward with information,” the post read, urging residents of Utawala and surrounding areas to remain vigilant when interacting with strangers.
Mchele, a street term for a drug slipped into a victim’s drink, has become a growing concern in Nairobi’s nightlife scene, with revellers increasingly falling prey to strangers they meet at bars and clubs before inviting them home.
Utawala Residents Urged to Stay Cautious
The video spread rapidly across social media, resonating with many Kenyans who have either experienced or witnessed similar incidents.
Reactions poured in, with many blaming both the women and the victim’s choices:
