Wednesday, February 11, 2026 - Residents of Nairobi’s upscale Kilimani Estate are once again living in fear following the return of a notorious burglar infamously nicknamed “Kilimani’s Spiderman”, a daring thief known for scaling apartment balconies and exterior walls to break into homes.
The suspect earned the nickname due to his unusual climbing
skills, which allow him to scale multi-storey buildings under the cover of
darkness and access apartments through balconies and sliding doors.
According to one resident who shared her experience, the
thief once climbed all the way to her friend’s fifth-floor apartment, catching
her completely off guard.
“She was relaxing on the balcony, sipping a glass of wine,
when suddenly a stranger appeared out of nowhere,” the resident recalled.
“Imagine the shock of seeing someone emerge from the wall
like a movie scene. It was terrifying,” she added.
In the latest incident, CCTV footage from Cherrywood
Apartments along Dennis Pritt Road shows the suspect climbing from balcony to
balcony and making his way up to the 10th floor with ease.
The footage has sparked fresh panic among residents, many of
whom now fear their homes could be next.
Those living along Dennis Pritt Road have been urged to
remain vigilant and take extra precautions, including locking balcony doors and
securing windows at night.
“For those living along Dennis Pritt Road, please be
vigilant. Spiderman is back terrorising apartments,” a concerned resident
warned.
