Comedian Timothy Kimani, alias Njugush, was an unlucky man in the wee hours of Friday morning after he found himself in the hands of a well-organized thugs in the streets of Nairobi.

In an post on his Instagram page, Njugush gave a blow by blow account of how he was waylaid by thugs while on his way home.

The comedian had reached University Way while going home when he came across a limping woman crossing the road.

He was forced to slow down his vehicle to allow her across.

In the moment, Njugush lowered the window of his car and engaged the woman during which he discovered she had taken alcohol.

"She smells [alcohol] but I guess ni stress so I teremsha kioo kidogo. She says she has kids who've not eaten for days," wrote Njugush on Instagram.

"She looks beat and she told me she fends for herself because of an accident. She tells me hataki pesa kama niko na food iko kwa gari nimpatie."

The woman explained that she has two kids who haven't had something to eat for a couple of days since she hasn't be able to work after having an accident which has resulted to her begging.

She added that all she is asking for is not money but food.

Njugush having been convinced by the 'touching story' he agreed to open his car door after the woman asked him to check on her if he doesn't believe the story. 

"At this point I'm convinced...she said you can open the door and see if you don't believe me." part of his post reads.

"I'm like I have kids and I think I'm convinced but just to see how maybe I can come through, I open the door," he said.

The comedian revealed that it is then that hell broke loose.

"Ghafla been fu (bin vuu), 2 guys came in from my co-drivers side and that's when I knew it has bitten each other. The lady says ukiitana nitapiga nduru niseme unataka kunirape," recalled Njugush.

"By the time najaribu kufikiria cinema kali nishawahi watch kisu ilikuwa kwa kahasho from my newly found co-driver."

After  getting into the car the gang quickly notices that its Njugush.

"Sasa guys at this point nikajua baas, so the co-driver goes like "ala Njugush, leo tutacheka. They say they won't be hard on me but their kids lazima wakule," said the comedian.

They asked for his phone and M Pesa pin which had only Sh2,000.

"Kwanza simu nikapeana, then nikawaambia labda wabebe costumes zilikuwa kwa gari, nikaekelewa kofi ile ya bladfwakni, so chap chap nikaitishwa M-Pesa Pin," he said.

"By this time they are talking profanities. Nikawaambia niko tu na that mbili, they laughed as the lady huko nyuma anatransfer hio pesa, wakasema ‘kumbe ata wasanii kimewaumania, simkuje tupige job huku."

All this time, Njugush had been ordered to drive around Nairobi in circles.

"They told me where to stop [and] the two jamaas alighted first, mrembo as she tried to alight, I saw the phone on her right hand. The engine was running and I tried grabbing my phone from her hand and it fell hapo chini back left," he said.

Njugush then sped off quickly to Central Police Station where he reported the matter.

"I knew that was my queue (cue) to speed as the guys walikua wameanza kurudi and off I left straight to Central. Be on the lookout watuz opening the door is where I did it. Glad they didn't harm me, wacha watoto wakakunywe maziwa lakini now I know better," he said.

"Lakini kukaribishwa Nairobi nayo nimekaribishwa mara kadhaa."
