This is true, a close friend.
Used to work in Nairobi but relocated to some Bank in shags...has a 6 month old baby girl.

What would have done were you in that situation? Is there a way he could have made enough noise to resist being shoved in that vehicle?

Well that is a very precarious predicament to find oneself in considering the amount of resources the attackers had at their disposal to carry out the operation including upto the minute briefing on his bank transactions and inside information that he would visit the star times shop - I am assuming this because getting parking outside startimes is tricky and the attackers would have parked there before in anticipation.

For that kind of situation, there is nothing one can do - those are professionals na watakupata.


Suppose you get hold of a passersby and shout you are not a thief so that they try taking in the two of you?
Think outta box...like running very fast towrds the shop even if they try shooting you?
d'oh! d'oh! d'oh!

Every one needs to learn the criminal and his ways. Then one can learn how to best protect themselves. For example, one should learn how to look around, read people, criminal tactics, and most important, how to use information given by others.

Wisdom always protects; in whatever situation.

There was once I wanted to withdraw a sizable amount of cash to buy a plot. The teller asked for sometime, took a while. She didn't need to go looking for the cash because she had it. I could see it.

I sensed something and immediately changed my request to a bankers cheque. What was shocking and most disturbing, was how she took time to try convince me to take cash. Of what concern was it to her?

Pray Pray Wah...very scaring. What about using online banking? I cant remember the last time I went in a bank to do a transaction. Not esp large amounts of money. I think if the society would move towards a cashless economy, it could cut off these guys by a big percentage because they thrive in emptying someones pockets.
