Monday, May 12, 2025 - Videos have emerged on social media showing the ill-fated ‘Uppercut’ matatu being driven recklessly along Thika Road, before it was involved in an accident in Nyeri.
In the videos, the infamous matatu is seen swaying between
lanes on the busy highway, with young men hanging off the left side and others
leaning out of the windows.
The same matatu, which was infamous for bullying motorists
along Thika Road, overturned during a road trip to Nyeri.
The driver, who was reportedly intoxicated, lost control of
the matatu on Sunday night, leading to the fatal accident that left several
people dead and others seriously injured.
The matatu is owned by Mwiki Ward MCA Sam Kago, a close ally
of Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja.
Watch videos of the matatu breaking traffic rules before the accident.
