November 4, 2024 – On Friday, November 1, 2024, around 4:40 PM, an individual
armed with a hammer managed to enter Ushirika Tower in Eastleigh. After gaining
entry, he proceeded to an apartment on the sixth floor with the assistance of a house help named Everlyne, who is a Ugandan national.
Upon entering, the
assailant, reportedly a Ugandan national, grievously assaulted a 20-year-old
Somali house help named Hakimo Muhidin with assistance from Evelyne.
Various valuable items were stolen during the incident, including pieces of gold jewelry, an unspecified amount of cash in both KES and U.S. dollars, and four
laptops belonging to the family, which were reported stolen during the
incident.
Hakimo Muhidin
sustained serious injuries, including a broken tooth and injuries to her hand,
head, and legs. Additionally, she exhibited signs of having been whipped, with
visible marks on her back.
After receiving
medical treatment, she has been discharged and is recovering at a
relative’s home in the Tassia estate area.
Evelyne, who had
joined the household three weeks before the incident, managed to escape
alongside the assailant.
At the time of the
incident, the tenant, a Somali man, was not at home; he was out with his
children, while his wife was reported to be in India for medical treatment.Â
Authorities are continuing their investigations to gather more details
regarding the incident and the suspects’ whereabouts.
