FAMOUS PRESENTER ALMOST STRANGLED TO DEATH.

KBC anchor Shiksha Arora was on Monday evening, June 21, strangled and robbed at the globe roundabout flyover in Nairobi.

In a statement, the news anchor who had just participated in the re-launch of the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation (KBC), narrated that some of her personal belongings including her purse and mobile phone were stolen.

Events began unfolding at around 5:20 pm when a man knocked down her side mirror, bent it back and walked away.

In a bid to reposition the side mirror, Arora rolled down the window. It is at this time that another man started banging the front seat passenger window.

“As I was looking to my left, the third guy slid his hand in through my window and unlocked my car, got into the back seat, grabbed my purse and asked for my phone, at this point in time I was in panic mode, couldn’t say anything.

“He asked for it again and reached for my neck, strangling me” she concluded.

The incident took place just hours after the Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai vowed that security will be enhanced in the city center.

The Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) also urged members of the public who may have fallen victim to making formal reports at the Nairobi Central DCI offices whenever such unfortunate incidences happen.

“While many victims take to social media to narrate their ordeals in the hands of mugger gangs (which is good sensitization), we further urge them to formalize those complaints…

“Many are scenarios when suspected muggers go scot-free even after they have been arrested along various Streets and Walk within the CBD, as the few who report at the station fail to pursue their cases or never turn up for hearings,” reads the statement by DCI.
