Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>KBC anchor Shiksha Arora was on Monday evening, June 21, strangled and robbed at the globe roundabout flyover in Nairobi.<\/p>\n

In a statement, the news anchor who had just participated in the re-launch of the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC), narrated that some of her personal belongings including her purse and mobile phone, were stolen.<\/p>\n

Events begun unfolding at around 5:20 pm when a man knocked down her side mirror, bent it backwards and walked away.<\/p>\n

In a bid to reposition the side mirror, Arora rolled down window. It is at this time that another man started banging the front seat passenger window.<\/p>\n

“As I was looking to my left, the third guy slid his hand in through my window and unlocked my car, got into the back seat, grabbed my purse and asked for my phone, at this point in time I was in panic mode, couldn\u2019t say anything.<\/p>\n

“He asked for it again and reached for my neck, strangling me.<\/p>\n

“As he was strangling my neck, I desperately gasped for air, I started hooting loudly to get some attention hoping somebody would help me. People started getting out of their cars and that\u2019s when he let go and fled,” she continued.<\/p>\n

The news anchor has advised Kenyans against rolling down their windows while at the globe round about.<\/p>\n

The incident took place just hours after the Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai vowed that security will be enhanced in the city centre.<\/p>\n

The Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) also urged members of the public who may have fallen victim to make formal reports at the Nairobi Central DCI offices whenever such unfortunate incidences happen.<\/p>\n

“While many victims take to social media to narrate their ordeals in the hands of mugger gangs (which is good sensitization), we further urge them to formalize those complaints…<\/p>\n

“Many are scenarios when suspected muggers go scot free even after they have been arrested along various Streets and Walks within the CBD, as the few who report at the station fail to pursue their cases or never turn up for hearings,” reads the statement by DCI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
