A CCTV footage has emerged showing a violent robbery involving an Embassava Matatu Sacco official along Moi Avenue, Nairobi.

The incident occurred shortly after the official withdrew KSh 500K, from a leading bank in the city.

In the video, the Sacco official is seen carrying a blue handbag while walking briskly along the busy street.

Moments later, a suspect who had been trailing him attacks from behind, snatching the handbag containing the cash.

The attack was swift, leaving the victim shocked and disoriented as passersby watched the incident unfold.

Authorities have confirmed receipt of the footage and are working to identify and apprehend the suspects involved.

Investigators are reviewing surrounding CCTV cameras to trace the movements of the thieves before and after the attack.

The Embassava Sacco official later reported the incident to police, emphasizing that the thieves appeared to have monitored his movements from the bank withdrawal point to the location of the attack.

Law enforcement officers are urging the public to remain vigilant, particularly after withdrawing large sums of cash, to use security escorts where possible.

The brazen nature of the robbery has sparked public concern about safety in Nairobi’s central business district, highlighting the need for increased security measures in areas with high pedestrian and commercial activity.

Meanwhile, Embassava Sacco has assured its staff of support and called for tighter internal and external security protocols to prevent similar occurrences in the future.

The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to recover the stolen funds, bring the culprits to justice.
