UBER DRIVER
Separately, police have circulated the registration number of an Uber taxi after its driver was robbed and dumped in a thicket.
The driver, Mr Clinton William Oloo, was stopped by three men at Roasters on Thika Road at about 3.30pm on Wednesday.
“He was approached by three men who introduced themselves as policemen from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations headquarters. They told him that they were arresting him for failing to report an accident. As they drove off, two of them drew pistols while the other took control of the vehicle,” the police report said.
On the way, the driver was forced to swallow some liquid and he lost consciousness.
He woke up on Thursday in a thicket at 3am in Ngong.
The driver was screamed for help before villagers found him and untied him.
