Anthony Kiariye, a Nairobi businessman, has recounted a harrowing experience in which his family car, valued at KSh 10 million, was dismantled by thieves in a home invasion two months ago.
The attack, which occurred at night, left his family shaken and his watchman brutally beaten “to the brink of death,” according to Kiariye.
The thieves targeted the luxury vehicle, which Kiariye used to ferry his family to church, social events, and his rural home.
“I was devastated. I had spent five years saving for that car, and they left it a shell of its former self,” he said. The burglars stripped the car of all expensive spare parts and vanished, leaving the family helpless.
Kiariye immediately reported the incident to the police. CCTV footage captured the thieves in the act, yet two weeks after the robbery, the authorities had made no progress.
Frustrated by the lack of response, Kiariye began considering alternative options.
It was during a Friday evening at Quiver Lounge, while sharing a drink with friends, that he learned of a potential solution.
A friend recounted how his uncle had successfully recovered a stolen car with the assistance of a traditional healer, Dr. Bokko.
Skeptical at first, Kiariye dismissed the story as “just one of those exaggerated tales.” However, his friend insisted that the account was verifiable and shared the healer’s contact number.
Kiariye reached out to Dr. Bokko that same night. They scheduled an online meeting for the following day, during which the healer assured him that the stolen car parts would be returned.
“He seemed confident. I wasn’t sure whether to trust him, but I had no other options left,” Kiariye admitted.
Following the meeting, Dr. Bokko performed his work, which reportedly involved traditional methods to locate and recover stolen property.
A week later, Kiariye’s ordeal took an unexpected turn. A visibly stressed man appeared at his gate and handed over all the spare parts that had been stolen from his car.
Kiariye immediately contacted the police to apprehend the man, citing the recovered property as evidence.
Reflecting on the experience, Kiariye described a mixture of relief and disbelief.
“I never thought something like this could work, but here we are. My family can finally use our car again, and justice is being pursued,” he said. CONTINUE READING
