For Dr. Harrison Mugo, Saturday 5 May 2018 was supposed to be just another normal day but ended up being one of the most terrifying days of his life.

He had just pulled into the gate to his compound in Ruiru at around 11:30pm in his Toyota Vanguard KCC 801H and was just driving into his compound after his son opened the gate when three men emerged from the dark wielding guns.

On realising the danger, his son jumped over the bonnet of their other car and dashed into the house. One of the thugs smashed the window to the driver's seat and ordered Dr. Mugo to step out before bundling him into his car's boot.

They immediately sped off as his wife and son raised alarm to alert their neighbours.

The victim, who is a leading coffee researcher at the Coffee Research Institute in Ruiru was driven around town before the gang forced him to reveal his Bank ATM card info so that they could withdraw his money.

Here, they vandalised Dr. Mugo's car and left, leaving the victims sandwiched inside the car boot.

After some time, they managed to get out of the boot and traced their way towards the highway. Upon arriving at the Del Monte shop, they narrated their ordeal to the guards manning the shop who allowed Dr. Mugo to use their phone to call his brother for help.
