One Kenyan girl was driving her car along forest road.

The girl hit one of the motor bike accidentally. The Boda Boda riders circled her shouting at her to open her car as I watched the video which was released on social medias. They were about fifty of them trying to open her car and they did it. They did not stop only by opening her car while she was screaming for help. They torn her clothes in to pieces, they molested her. One guy was recording the scene with his phone to report them and he was beaten by them and later taken to the hospital.



The news came out the same day, 7th of March'2022. The police department , The justice department vowed to punish all of the Boda Boda Riders. Sixteen of them was collected the same day.



I heard the news on 9th of March'22, the Boda Boda riders were banned for a month. All of them are out business until 8th of April.
