Early Morning Drama As Two Men Fight It Out After A Night Of Drinking.
Residents of Thika Town had something to walk away their Monday Blues when they were
treated to an early morning drama when two men clashed outside New Kahuruko Bar
& Restaurant (Sky Motel).
According to one of the men, the fight began as the two disputed
over a lost cellphone.
The two had spent the night reveling at the club before
he fell asleep on the table only to wake up at dawn without a phone. On inquiring
from the other guy, who was drinking next to him throughout the night, the
second man denied ever having any knowledge of the lost phone.
This infuriated the owner of the phone to start a brawl that
had them being thrown out of the club.
Upon being thrown out, the two continued where they left, exchanging
blows and tearing each other’s clothes in the process. A crowd of curious on-lookers started
swelling as they gathered to enjoy the early morning free movie.
The victim grabbed the other guy’s pockets
and took some money which he claimed that would be used to partially compensate
his phone.
It is suspected that his drink might have been spiked with some drugs or overdosed with alcohol before
he fell asleep.
Cases of theft and drink-spiking
in pubs are increasingly worrying Thika residents, particularly male revelers
who are the main targets. The substance used in spiking contains a higher
alcohol percentage capable of felling its victim within no time. In some cases, it has led to more serious and long term consequences including death.
Popular pubs frequented
by commercial sex workers pass as the most notorious drink-spiking dens in
town with Fridays, Saturdays and
Sundays being the most dangerous days because of the high number of revelers in
bars.
Those involved in this crime, especially the women, operate in groups of between three and
five with at least two or three men who help them drain the men’s pockets once
they hit their target.
They usually dress
well and are very outgoing. Some of them may easily pass as women in the
corporate world because of their mode of dressing and make-up. They strategically
position themselves to ensure they get the men’s attention. Inside the club, they
will order expensive drinks and are able to pay their own bills but never
hesitate to respond if a man sends them a drink or requests their contacts.
However, there are
also some young men who target their girlfriends or other young girls whom they
overdose using date-rape drugs.
Every Saturday,
Sunday and Monday morning you will rarely miss male patrons seeking the whereabouts
of specific women who lured them at night and ended up robbing them of money.
They never get to know them because they use proxy names and are usually very
sly.
With this trend on
the increase, patrons are advised to be vigilant and to keep watch over their
drinks while in bars to avoid falling prey to spikers. One should strictly
ensure they always leave their drinks under the care of someone they know or
trust.
Male patrons should stop inviting women strangers to their tables
especially in bars flocked by commercial sex workers. They will continue
to be vulnerable to the menace if they do not stop the habit of leaving their
drinks under the care of waiters and waitresses when going to the washrooms,
especially in bars they are not accustomed to.
