The incident happened on Thursday, October 16, at Total Energies Hurlingham in Nairobi.
According to Etale, the staff of Azimio TV had parked their car in a parking area near the station while they were waiting for Raila’s body to arrive and be transported to Lee Funeral Home.
Was Azimio TV equipment stolen?
While the car was being cleaned, a man entered the car and stole a bag containing important advertising equipment, including laptops and hard drives with sensitive content.
CCTV footage shows the suspect, dressed in black, initially trying to open the car, but to no avail.
Then he left, unnoticed by those around. Moments later, he returned, managed to unlock the car, and took the bag before leaving without locking the door.
The footage shows him calmly walking away, occasionally glancing back, before disappearing into the crowd of pedestrians.
Etale distributed the photos publicly and asked the public to help identify the suspect.
“The man is seen walking carelessly as if he has not done anything. We would appreciate any help in identifying him,” he said.
Some Kenyans have reacted to the video, with many suggesting that ‘it was an inside job.’
How did Kenyans react to the robbery of Azimio TV?
Freddy Black “At work, you can’t leave a car and valuables unattended unless you’re visiting Kenya for the first time.”
Happy Kenyans “Why was the car left unlocked? And why was there no one inside? Who wanted some important data to disappear from ODM records?”
Alex Kachu “The next building has a CCTV camera that is more open than this one. Second, look closely, it could also be an inside job. Why was the door left open and unoccupied? How did he just put a bag considering that other devices might be there?”
Amata Edwin “It’s always a rule… it’s not written and it should be written for all media teams… don’t leave anything in the car unless there’s someone inside the car… not outside! Inside!”
Toka Akhabele “Inside work. Interview the staff. How would a visitor know which bag is important?”
Nimus Wayne “The carwash guy who cleaned the car should be arrested. That carwash grows with guys who are funny characters.”
