Over the past few days reported cases of crime have been on the rise, most of them involving young people. In a society where everyone wants to make some quick cash, the risks young people are taking to rise from dust to riches are becoming more dangerous by the day.
This evening, a social media user narrated how he almost went to jail thanks to his rich friend. He posted this story in a bid to warn young people out there to be cautious of the kind of people they associate with, as trouble could always be just a few friends away from you.
Twitter user @JrKinyenze narrates.
So one day I’m chilled in the hood in Parklands and my High School ninja called me asking where I was. The call seemed to be a booty call to a nigga on dry spell because I was so broke and that guy was so rich.
So the guy comes over to pick me up in a new Toyota Land Cruiser V8. It was so strange because his normal car was a RAV4. I didn’t ask much cause he was rich and everyone could see it. It’s in the morning and I'm dressed terribly because I had nowhere to go. Hata chwani ya movie sikuwa nayo and I had not paid for my internet subscription.
He tells me not worry, it was his sister's birthday and he was willing to do anything to make her happy. He took me to a clad shop in Ridgeways and he bought me an outfit worth 7 thousand, including a pair of brand new brown Timberlands.
After that we went to TRM for lunch and he decided he had to go pick some girls from Thika. I was okay with it all. At TRM we were joined by another Highschool friend. We are now three. My nigga never liked driving because of reckless drinking so he had a driver. So I’m the driver that day and I didn’t ask why he didn’t have a driver that day because I really wanted to ride that V8 machine. So we board for This but at Ruiru we find a police road block at Pepopi School. I’m trying to make the story short.
So the police stop me, I’m kind of drunk but not worried. Juu pesa iko. So the police order us to get out of the car and I’m easy. Then we are suddenly cuffed. Behind us I see two other V8s packed along. I didn’t notice them following us from Parklands. The police have sniffer dogs which go round the car then suddenly one dog starts barking at the back left sit where my nigga was sitted. I’m now confused. Arrif huyo mwingine akashtuka akajikojolea. We are cuffed and getting threats to head to police. I know nothing at that point.
On the back left seat police retrieved a small package where the rich kid was sitted. I got so teased but I didn’t know what to do cause at first I was the one driving the car. Pombe ilishuka from 75% to 0.
One of police officer asks where we were going to deliver that package. I’m confused on what’s happening but then remembered that guy had over 1M cash in his South C apartment and didn’t want to bank the cash. I start joining the dots. As the rich kid was negotiating a call from an inbuilt radio in the car rang. Damn. I didn’t even know the car had a a radio call. The police didn't wanna pick the call up so my guy requested to pick it himself. He is allowed. Still cuffed.
The caller then requested to talk to the police. The police at first didn’t seem like they wanted negotiations but on radio I heard a woman’s voice asking “Wanataka pesa ngapi?” Then suddenly they all went closer.
They negotiated to 140K. The policemen were 4. So they didn’t like the deal. Wakaongezwa another 60k. Then all of a sudden they became easy. Izo V8 zilikuwa nyuma mbili had 4 guys two each. Seemed to look like escort. The guy’s dad was a PS in the government.
Hiyo time arrif yangu mike amejikojolea mbaya juu ya uoga. So we are uncuffed. Mike alikimbia kutoka Peponi hadi Kahawa Sukari. I felt like a ne me. Sikurudi kwa hiyo gari tena. I even deleted that guy's number after being uncuffed. Nilikuwa na 2K mbele nyuma. Went got a cab. My first ever M-Cab in Nairobi. Nilipata Mike Wendani. Tukaenda kwa bro Westie kudoz.
So later on I heard it was a inside set up. I don’t trust rich people I don’t know well anymore. Moral of the story; Don't let small problems land you to a bigger problem. Take care fam. END!
