A boda boda rider in Kawangware has lost his life this afternoon, after being attacked by two men who attempted to wrestle his motorbike from him.
According to DCI Mogaka Chacha, a 31-year-old boda boda rider who plied his trade between Kangemi and Kawangware area, had ferried two thugs masquerading as genuine passengers headed to Kawangware’s stage 56.
However on reaching Muslim area, the pillion passengers turned on Mogaka and stabbed him as they tried to gain control of his motorbike and rob it from him.
