British, Dutch Nationals Attacked and Robbed Along Oloitoktok Road

The victims were identified as Mohamed Abdi, a 48-year-old British national, and Aissam Allaoui, a 42-year-old Dutch national.

Nairobi police initiated an investigation on September 11 after two foreign nationals, a British man and a Dutch man, were attacked and robbed along Oloitoktok Road near Siaya Park. The assault occurred around midnight on Thursday when the victims, identified as Mohamed Abdi, 48, and Aissam Allaoui, 42, were walking from Yaya Centre.

The thieves, riding an unregistered motorcycle, passed the men before returning and attacking them. Abdi sustained injuries after being struck on the nose with a blunt object. The assailants stole Sh15,000 and a power bank from Abdi, while Allaoui was robbed of a Sh96,000 iPhone 14 Pro, Nike trainers, Apple headphones and a white charging cable.

Good Samaritans helped the victims and they were taken to Nairobi Women's Hospital, where Abdi received treatment for his injuries. Police, including an orderly officer from Kilimani, are investigating the incident to identify and apprehend the suspects and recover the stolen items. The police are committed to combating robbery and street crime in Nairobi, especially during late-night hours when pedestrians are more vulnerable.
