Nairobi: Drama As Prominent CS Is Forced To Pay Goons Over KSh 100,000 After Being Held Hostage

Drama was witnessed in Nairobi Central Business District after a group of goons held a prominent cabinet secretary and forced him to give over Ksh 100,000 to be released.

The Cabinet Secretary had reportedly visited a political party office in Nairobi for what was expected to be a routine courtesy call.

However, the visit quickly took an unexpected turn after a group of men allegedly surrounded the official and prevented him from leaving.According to reports, the men demanded money from the Cabinet Secretary before allowing him to walk out of the premises.

The situation reportedly became tense as the official remained at the location for several hours while attempts were made to negotiate his release.

The group is said to have included men who presented themselves as security guards.

Their presence reportedly made it difficult for the cabinet secretary to leave freely, as they continued pressing him for money.

Eventually, the official was allegedly forced to hand over more than Ksh 100,000 in order to secure his release.

However, the payment did not immediately bring the ordeal to an end, with the men reportedly demanding additional money.

The incident has since raised concern among senior government officials, particularly because it involved a cabinet secretary and allegedly occurred within the political circles of the capital.

The reported incident also highlights growing concerns over groups of men operating around political offices and allegedly using intimidation to extort money from individuals seeking access to influential figures.

Questions are now being raised over how the men managed to keep a senior government official at the premises for hours and why the matter allegedly escalated to demands for money.

The incident has reportedly rattled officials familiar with the matter, with attention now focused on identifying those involved and determining whether further action will be taken against them.

The case comes amid wider concerns over the activities of individuals who use political connections, security roles or intimidation to extract money from unsuspecting victims.

Authorities are expected to examine the circumstances surrounding the incident and establish what led to the Cabinet Secretary being held against his will.
