CCTV footage has emerged showing the moment an Mpesa attendant was accosted by an armed gang and robbed of KSh200,000 in a daring morning robbery.
The victim was preparing to open her Mpesa shop when the gang struck, apparently unaware that the criminals had been trailing her.
In the CCTV footage, one of the gang members is seen brandishing a firearm as his accomplice approaches the woman and snatches her handbag containing the cash.
The thugs then make a quick getaway with the money, leaving the terrified Mpesa attendant badly shaken.
The brazen robbery has raised concerns over the safety of business operators, particularly Mpesa agents who handle large amounts of cash and are often targeted by criminals.
Police are expected to review the CCTV footage to identify the suspects and launch a manhunt to bring the gang members to justice.
Watch the robbery as captured by CCTV.
