A man had his genitals burned by irate Embu boda boda riders who accused him of being part of a gang that had attempted to rape a woman on Sunday night. Dennis Mugambi, 22, was also beaten with all manner of crude weapons before police came to his rescue during the Monday incident. Witnesses said the victim of the attack was reportedly spotted after the woman in question sounded an alarm over the attempted rape incident. The group allegedly cornered the woman at a dark street behind Highway Court Hotel at around 8 pm and tried to gang rape her. The witnesses said the gang escaped into the darkness after the woman screamed alerting scores of bodaboda operators. The woman positively identified the attacker before the mob descended on him, undressed and tied him with a rope. The riders told Mugambi that since the organs were the ones which he wanted to use to hurt the woman, they will maim them. Police rescued took him to Embu Level Five teaching and referral hospital where he is nursing the injuries. Embu West police boss Francis Sang warned boda boda riders against taking the law into their hands. He warned that some of those who participated in assaulting the man might be arrested and prosecuted if positively identified. "Suspects should be handed over to the police for prosecution," Sang said. The incident follows in the wake of that of Kisumu where some 28 iron sheet homes were razed in Kaloleni estate on Sunday. This followed a fight between residents and boda boda operators. Source: the star coke
