Two men were discovered unconscious and partially unclothed in a car, hours after falling victim to a stupefying attack by a gang at a club in Mwiki, Nairobi.
The incident occurred as the men, who were part of a group enjoying drinks and food at the establishment, were reportedly stupefied by unidentified women.
Witnesses recalled seeing the men alongside these women on their way to the car.
The following day, the incapacitated men were found in the car and swiftly transported to the hospital. Authorities suspect they may have consumed a potent substance.
Currently hospitalised and under medical care, the men’s condition suggests possible poisoning.
The police have initiated a search for the individuals responsible for the stupefying crime.
Perpetrators of such offences could face severe consequences, including life imprisonment, according to Section 230 of the Penal Code.
The surge in stupefying incidents, particularly among revellers, has alarmed law enforcement.Â
Recent developments indicate progress in tackling this issue, as two women were apprehended in the Kasarani area of Nairobi.
These women, dubbed ‘pishori babes,’ were implicated in a related case involving the death of a man in Kisii. Found in possession of the deceased’s electronic devices, the women have since been charged in court.
As investigations continue, additional suspects are being sought by the police.
