A Zimbabwean woman working for a non-governmental United Nations agency in Kenya narrowly escaped public sexual assault by a gang of motorcycle taxi riders locally known as ‘Boda Boda’ after hitting a pedestrian with her car on the eve of President Mnangagwa’s visit to that country.
The unfortunate incident that has since sparked outrage in that country is alleged to have happened the night before the Zimbabwean president visited that country for a 3 day Kenya- Zimbabwe Joint Permanent Commission for Cooperation (JPCC).
It is alleged that the unnamed woman (name withheld to protect the victim) accidentally hit a pedestrian in the capital, Nairobi along the famously notorious Forest Road on Tuesday afternoon.
Before attending to the injured pedestrian, she was ambushed by a gang of motorcycle taxi riders who violently attacked, stripped, and groped the 32-year-old woman.
A gory video that reached FaceofMalawi desk shows a group of men violently pulling the helplessly screaming woman out of the car before stripping her naked and groping her with their hands.
Fortunately, the incident caught the attention of police officers who quickly dispersed the crowd and saved the traumatized woman.
NB|Due to the sensitivity of the video, FaceofMalawi will not be publishing the full incident on its pages.
narrowed down on the suspect identified as Zachariah Nyaora Obadia. Using digital forensics, the sleuths working with cybercrime experts at the DCI National Forensic Laboratory, placed the thug at the scene of the crime scientifically and went after him this afternoon deep in

The unfortunate event has since reached the Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta’s desk.
He quickly condemned the rowdy behavior by the wild taxi riders and called for a countrywide crackdown on the illegal taxi drivers.
Local papers in that country have also reported that more than a dozen of Boda Boda riders have since been arrested.
