Thomas Wafula a guard in an estate in Rongai’s Laiser area has received praises from tenants for bravely saving them from robbers.
THIEVES DISGUISED AS MEDICAL PERSONNEL
At around 1 am early today 23rd April, some 3 or 4 people went to a building in Rongai and called to the guard of the building saying they were from the Mbagathi hospital, because they had information that there was a corona patient in the building and they had come to take him. They repeatedly instructed the guard to open the Main Gate.
According to the guard’s description, two or three of them were wearing PPE, masks and gloves, and two in army/police uniform. They also wore masks and gloves with an ambulance parked afew meters from the gate.
Though the guard was a bit shaken, he made it clear to them that the landlord himself would have to tell him to open the gate.
If they really have to take a corona patient, they have to wait outside till the morning.
The guard did not open the gate, the fake health officers said they would come back later in the morning.
Surprisingly no one came in the morning to get the supposed corona patient, because there was really no corona patient in that house.
So it is clear that those who came to the house to take the corona patient were thieves!
The entire building was saved from an unpleasant incident due to the guard’s intelligence.
Mr Suleiman Hamisi a security expert has urged All landlords / flat owners to alert their doorman / guard of their house, of this new trend. They should not even go out to speak with any such ‘visitors’ but engage them at a safe distance.
With the heavy rains and corona pandemic, such cases will be on the increase
