Writes: Peter Opiyo in Nairobi, Kenya

With just a few days to her wedding, a bride-to-be in Nairobi got the shock of her life when she realised the man sitting next to her in a bus was a pervert.

The beautiful woman in her mid-20s had boarded a bus in the city centre on Friday last week, headed for Githurai 45 to visit an aunt. Since the bus was almost full, she secured a back seat next to a seemingly respectable man in his 40s.

After two passengers seated in front of them alighted, she decided to occupy one of the vacant seats, only for the man to follow her. Mischief was the last thing on her mind.

“Just like me, I thought he was uncomfortable at the back, and I didn’t consider it strange that he had followed me,” she said.

A few minutes later, with the bus stuck in the notorious Thika Road traffic snarl-up and the big day weighing heavily on her mind, she decided to take a nap.

Seizing the opportunity, the man reportedly unzipped his trousers, removed his manhood and moved closer to the dozing woman, carefully hiding his nudity from other passengers with a jacket.

When the woman awoke, she noticed her seatmate was fidgeting. Before long, she came face to face with the reason for the man’s discomfort–his exposed, erect manhood.

So shocked was she that she immediately let out a loud scream. The other passengers did not have to ask what the problem was, as the shameless man was not quick enough to conceal the offending ‘evidence’.

“Huyu amenitolea ‘dudu’ yake,” shouted the shocked woman. (He has exposed his manhood to me.)

The sex pest was given a thorough beating before being forced to alight at Rosters on Thika Road. Upon being told, “Yeye ni mbakaji” (He is a rapist), bystanders at the stage beat up the man.

Careful not to encounter any more drama before walking down the aisle, the woman called someone to pick her up when she alighted at Githurai.
