In the clip, the man is seen intentionally stepping onto the road in front of oncoming vehicles, stopping only when a driver honks at him. The incident has sparked widespread debate, with many discussing the tactics some individuals allegedly use to exploit situations for financial gain in the bustling city.
The video has been widely shared on social media platforms, fueling conversations about such behavior and its implications for road safety in Nairobi.
In a video shared on Facebook by Kenny Kaburu, a middle-aged pedestrian is captured crossing the road in front of oncoming vehicles. The man halts abruptly as a driver honks and brings their car to an emergency stop. The driver then informs the pedestrian that the entire incident has been recorded on camera, exposing his deliberate actions.
“I have a camera; I can see you. Stop playing on the road,” he said as the pedestrian moved towards his window, mumbling words that could not be heard clearly.
He walks away and is unfortunately met by a police officer who gives him a hearty slap before helping him cross the road.
