YouTuber Fredrick Marwa, also known as Iam_Marwa, is urgently seeking assistance after his Mzungu girlfriend was robbed in Upper Hill, Nairobi. Marwa took to Instagram to share a video capturing the entire frightening incident.
In the video, a sudden turn of events unfolds as a boda-boda rider swiftly approaches, snatches Marwa's girlfriend's bag, and speeds off within a mere couple of seconds. Marwa, visibly stunned, expressed disbelief at the incident, emphasizing that it occurred right beside a police station.
He's literally pleading with his followers to help him track down the thief. He said, and I quote, “This just happened to us! Kindly share it widely to help us. I hope someone helps us identify this thief. This was this morning around 9:30 a.m., Sunday, April 14.
Having recently arrived in Nairobi from our village, we decided to explore the city on foot for sightseeing. Unbeknownst to us, the individual on the motorbike had been trailing us with the intent to commit this crime. We were left shaken by the suddenness of it all—it happened in a mere two seconds.
Rocio was carrying her national ID, GO Pro 10, mobile phone, iPhone 11 Pro, cash, iPods, wallet, and bank cards. The phone location shows it is in an area called Mathare."
The video prompted swift reactions from Kenyans, with many offering supportive messages, while others provided the content creator with safety tips to prevent similar incidents in the future.

vssss2222 Are U dumb U know this is Nairobi keeping her bag on her hand 😂
velithebosslady This can happen to anyone in any city. God had to open Rocio’s eyes so that she is more careful during the rest of the trip. Safe travel to both of you. You will be protected. 🙏🏾❤️
otunbaadetayoilemobade Marwa is not street wise... You shouldn't have allowed Ro to carry any belongings on herself. He should have taken those things away from her and put the bag on his own neck under his shirt. This is the first principle walking in a big city moreso an isolated area on Sunday.
finchbrown4 You should always have your Purse on the opposite side of the Street! Wear a Cross Body Bag! So sorry Hope at least you get your Identification back! Bank Cards can be Cancelled, As for the Cash that's gone! At least She's Ok might be Shaken but you hv your Life.. 🙌❤🇺🇸
