His family had earlier lost over KSh 200,000 to a woman who posed as a recruitment agent promising him a job in Canada.
When the travel date came, she vanished, leaving the family in financial ruin. Embarrassed and unable to remain in the village, Wafula moved to Nairobi, where he survived on casual construction jobs.
At one site, he met a man named Marvin, who offered to link him to better-paying work. Days later, Marvin invited him to Juja for what seemed like another job.
On arrival, Wafula was led through a bushy path in Githurai, where two masked men ambushed him at gunpoint.
They questioned him about his background and willingness to “do what they did.” Moments later, Marvin reappeared, revealing he was part of the group.
The men produced a bag containing human heads and a tin of blood. Wafula was forced to drink two glasses of it as part of a blood oath.
Terrified and convinced he would be killed, he complied. After hours of intimidation, the men left him tied up in a room. He eventually freed himself and escaped, shaken and confused.
Wafula never saw Marvin again and chose not to report the incident, fearing retaliation. Despite the trauma, he hopes to find honest employment to rebuild his life and support his family in Bungoma.
