Same story

Another K24 anchor Ian Wafula has suffered the same fate like Eric Njoka. Ian found himself in a quandary after the same VW he was sold was also sold to another person.

Detectives have since impounded Ian’s VW Jetta pending investigations into the matter. The K24 anchor says the person who sold him the German machine sold the same car to his lawyer and changed its ownership without him knowing.

“Very often social pressure and expectations force us to hide behind our jobs; that our lives are perfect, free of baggage. NO. It has been a depressing couple of months after a car I owned for a whole year become subject of investigations. Traded in my Toyota Axio for a VW Jetta at a Car Bazaar on Ngong Rd owned by this guy here Collins Bootsy Muraya and instead he did not remit the money to the Original Jetta owner.

“The owner in turn claims that’s after Collins vanished he sold the car to his Lawyer who had eyed it and the two managed to change its ownership; all this while I was in possession of the car. Police suspect foul play but until investigations are done all I have are many unanswered questions. Thousands of innocent buyers fall in the hands of such individuals, especially we young people; don’t get too caught up in excitement while purchasing an asset be keen to check the Car history with KRA before checking with NTSA’s portal which I have since learnt is highly temperable. As it stands I might have just lost two cars in essence. Stay Woke,” Ian Wafula narrated his ordeal.
