On December 16, 2019, a dramatic scene unfolded in Tasia Estate, Nairobi, as a middle-aged man was caught with 120 panties belonging to different women.
The man, identified as Gregory, had been suspected of stealing women's underwear for a long time. His neighbors, who had grown tired of his antics, decided to take matters into their own hands.
According to a report by Dundapost.co.ke, the locals, led by their chairman, held a meeting to discuss how to catch Gregory in the act. They decided to use the services of a traditional herbalist, Mugwenu Doctors, to help them recover the stolen underwear.
Dr. Mugwenu, the herbalist, assured the residents that he could help them recover the stolen items within 45 minutes. He performed some exercises around the estate and left, promising that everything would be brought out.
True to his word, just 45 minutes later, Gregory was seen crying and asking for anyone who had lost their underwear to come and claim it. A mob had gathered, intent on lynching him, but police on patrol arrived just in time to rescue him and take him into custody.
Gregory was arrested and taken to the police station, awaiting charges. The incident serves as a reminder that justice can be served in unexpected ways.
