An employee at the Ministry of Interior is fighting for his life at a hospital in Murang’a county after falling prey to ‘Basmati Babes’.
The man took a drink that had been laced with an unknown substance by a female lover, rendering him unconscious.
However, a quick response by bar attendants at the popular joint saved the man from losing his valuables to the said woman who had just stupefied his drink.
“They had walked to Small Villa Gardens at Kenol last evening and enjoyed several drinks as they made merry, little did he know that the woman had hatched an evil scheme to milk his bank accounts dry,” DCI said.
The bar attendants alerted their manager who called the Officer Commanding Kenol Police station, who responded immediately.
The man was rushed to hospital in critical condition, as the woman identified as Alice Wangechi, 37, was booked at Kenol police station on stupefying charges. The man’s documents were also recovered from her.
Wangechi’s arrest comes in the wake of an exposé by DCI warning men in rural areas of an influx of women whose drinks lacing enterprise had suffered a big blow in the city and were now scavenging in local pubs for easy prey.
The drug used to spike drinks known as ‘Tamuu’ is a depressant used to treat mental patients and has adverse effects especially when administered to men with pre-existing medical conditions such as high blood pressure.
