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? Thank your God. Through His Holy Spirit, He whispered a word of caution to you....

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?  I had an incident at that exact location though mine was not a bad one, it was the kanjo - lakini in plain clothes they grabbed me and started dragging me across the road towards the fire-station all the time making sure they were all around me no chance to grab anything, damn even a diplomatic police car passed hapo and they did zich. lucky enough their van was not hapo kwa roundabout ya koija it had moved and I dint have even a single cent on me so wakaniacha. for such a well coordinated scheme, especially if it involves rouge cops, ni wewe na mungu wako

coop bank forex staff should be investigated because when such happen the words coop bank and forex trend out, a pal also lost a very substantial amount in forex in the same way as impunity describes above only that he escaped because someone who was where the thugs intended to kill him raised alarm and they sped off 'One headache for famous medieval holy people was that someone might murder you to acquire your body parts for the relics trade'

Wisdom always protects; in whatever situation. WORD ! natuwache kufloss sana.Take this guy for example he visited two banks and a forex bureau may be also speaking on his expensive phone and other small small things the thugs observed that made him a target.

You should know how it's easy for me to identify other killers. It helps. This person was beaten because he's a 'nice guy'. You're always robbed and stolen from because you are 'nice' and you think everyone ought to be nice.

First, remember that these might have been real cops, and that's probably their camouflage. You don't want to be a terrorism suspect also. Plus, unless you can figure out their plan and defense 'your life' is in danger, and that's worth protecting. A criminal always knows his victim. Does the victim know the criminal?

This is scary, though there are too many similar incidents and all with a similar pattern.
Have you noticed these criminals succeed because our cops operate the same way ? If cops were obligated to identify themselves, notify you of the reason for arrest and allow you to contact family or lawyer, then thugs would find the going a bit tough. Throw in rogue cops, rogue tellers and there is only one way out, AVOID CASH.

Wa! wa! wa! This is very saddening.
@Impunity, Thanks for sharing,knowledge is power. Praise be to the Lord for saving your friend.
Where is that direct comm. line to the president? This is extremely disturbing.
Cashless transactions is the way to go even though there remains transactions that you find yourself having to carry good cash from point A to B.
