According to her, it was around 7 or 8 PM when she left her workplace and headed to the Odeon stage to board a matatu. The queue was long, and it was moving slowly. She joined the queue and waited patiently for her turn.
"So mi natoka shughuli zangu kuelekea pale Odeaon kama kawaida because it was around 7 or 8 pm. Alaalfu, there was a line to board the matatus.
So I joined the queue like everyone else, the line was so long, and it was inching forward very slowly," the lady narrated.
As she was waiting, an elderly couple who were not in the queue approached her, appearing lost and needing direction.
The woman was well-dressed and looked like she had just left the church. The lady kindly directed them to the right matatu and even offered them a spot in front of her owing to their age.
"The woman was so well dressed, anakaa kama ametoka church or something," she said.
However, things turned for the worse when the elderly woman offered her some biscuits, which she ate without suspecting anything.
