In a bizarre turn of events in Eldoret, a bodaboda rider recently made headlines by resorting to burying his motorcycle in his own compound after reporting it missing to the company that had sold it to him on credit.
A video that has been circulating online captures the moment when officials from the credit company, in collaboration with local law enforcement, successfully recovered the buried motorcycle from the rider’s property following an extensive search operation.
In a video shared online, a group of individuals donning reflector jackets are seen engaging in the process of unearthing the buried motorcycles, which were visibly caked in mud.
Amidst the recovery operation, one of the individuals can be heard saying, “He has buried something here, bring it up and what number plate is this? Good job, detective, the bike has been recovered.”
This incident has ignited a spirited debate within a segment of the Kenyan population. Some individuals have raised questions regarding the efficacy of credit companies in locating motorcycles that were previously reported as stolen, especially after their owners had fulfilled their loan obligations.
The unusual course of events has underscored the complexities surrounding the motorbike credit industry and has prompted further discussions about the need for improved accountability and transparency within this sector.
As Kenyans reflect on this incident, questions surrounding the security of vehicles purchased on credit and the potential for misuse of tracking systems continue to be points of concern.
