According to other Boda Boda riders, the culprits snatched the phone from a man who was walking on the pedestrian walkway before speeding off.

The Boda Boda riders who witnessed the events unfold gave them a chase and caught up with them at the junction of Rabai and Mumia Roads in the Buruburu estate. The riders were immediately joined by the irate residents who immediately set the duo on fire in the middle of the road. The police nearby arrived minutes after the two were set on fire.

The Nairobi police boss, Augustine Nthumbi, however, condemned the act and asked Kenyans not to take law into their own hands.
