Boda Boda operators buy juice thinking its contraband fuel

Two bodaboda drivers in Kiambu County were left speechless after they placed what they believed to be illegal fuel in the tanks of their motorcycles but afterwards realized it was a jug of juice.

The Taifa Leo daily reported that after buying the liquid that had been diluted with juice and passed off as pure gasoline, the boda boda drivers lost 2,000 Shillings.

Taifa Leo reported the matter as follows:

“Waathiriwa hao walikutana na watu watatu waliokuwa wamebeba vibuyu viwili vya lita kumi-kumi wote wakiabiri pikipiki moja eneo la Bypass Ruiru katika barabara kuu ya Thika. Hivyo vibuyu vilikuwa vinaonekana kana kwamba vimejazwa pomoni ikawa rahisi kuwaamini,”

According to the two Bodabodas, the exorbitant cost of oil forced them to hunt for illegal oil, but it didn’t work out for them. The bottle’s price per liter was Sh100.

At the majority of gas stations in the area, the cost of gasoline is currently Sh195. The bodaboda drivers claim that they hurriedly fled after purchasing the fuel because they thought it was a smuggling operation and the transaction needed to be completed right afterwards, according to Taifa Leo.

According to the victims, the con artists appeared to be working at a garage or a gas station because of the clothing they were wearing.

Numerous boda boda drivers who work on the Thika Superhighway in the counties of Nairobi and Kiambu have cautioned their coworkers to be cautious, despite the fact that it has been discovered that they did not report this occurrence to the police station.
