According to Sonko, he posted a tweet on his Twitter account:
“Kanairo Security alert: When you enter a matatu don't occupy the seat next to a woman sleeping off as soon as you sit next to her. A woman pretends to be sleeping then all of a sudden, she starts screaming that somebody has taken her phone or even money while she was asleep. Then 2-3 gentlemen (her gang) start raining slaps on you even before you start defending yourself. You'll have a difficult time defending yourself because everybody will tend to sympathize with the crying woman! You'll then be forced to pay the woman money which you didn't steal”.
Kanairo Security alert:

He also stated that if you enter a matatu and find a woman dozing off then occupy a different seat away from her! And if she sleeps off as soon as the Matatu takes off then ensure she is awake.
Stay alert for your safety.
