Monday, January 19, 2026 - Four men are fighting for their lives after they were severely beaten by members of the public for using a hired matatu to ferry and rob unsuspecting passengers along the Ngara-Gachie route.
According to eyewitness accounts, the suspects had hired the
matatu and were posing as a legitimate public service vehicle.
They reportedly picked up passengers along the road before
robbing them during the journey.
Trouble began when they picked up several women in Ngara,
prompting boda boda riders along the route to grow suspicious
of the matatu’s unusual behaviour.
The riders reportedly blocked the vehicle and cornered the
suspects.
The four men were subjected to a brutal beating by an angry
crowd before police arrived and rescued them from the mob.
They were rushed to the hospital in critical condition,
while investigations were launched.
