Two suspects detained for sodomising 40-year-old man, dumping him naked at Lang’ata cemetery

Two suspects are facing charges of sexual assault, gang rape and robbery with violence after the Kibera Law Court ordered that they be remanded at Industrial Area Prison until October 30, 2025, for pre-trial. 

It is alleged that Cleff Juma Mbaka and Mursal Kafe Masur attacked and robbed a 40-year-old man at Mashimoni in Kibera after he had visited a friend in the area. The two are also accused of sodomising the victim before dumping him at Lang’ata cemetery.

The suspects are currently being held at Industrial Area Remand Prison, where they will remain in custody until their pre-trial hearing on October 31, 2025.

According to the victim and court documents obtained by Citizen TV, the incident began around 3p.m. on October 1, 2025, when a 40-year-old man from Narok County boarded a matatu bound for Nairobi. His destination was Kibera, where he intended to visit a friend. 

By around 9p.m., he arrived at Makina Stage and called his friend for directions. The friend then advised him to hand his phone to a nearby boda boda rider who could help guide him to the exact location.

The rider offered to take him to his destination for Ksh.150. Moments later, a second man, now identified as one of the suspects, joined the ride, claiming he was heading in the same direction and suggesting they split the fare. The unsuspecting victim sat sandwiched between the two men on the motorbike.

Just two minutes into the ride, the motorbike stopped abruptly at Mashimoni. The rider claimed he had run out of fuel. Suddenly, the passenger seated behind the victim grabbed him in a chokehold, while the rider ordered him to cooperate.

What followed was a brutal attack and robbery. The suspects allegedly stole his Samsung A03 phone, Ksh.6,000 in cash, his national ID, and driver’s license.

It is further alleged that they forced him to reveal his phone password before making him swallow both his Airtel and Safaricom SIM cards in an attempt to destroy evidence.

The victim managed to catch a glimpse of the motorbike’s registration number, KMGW 412Q, before the rear passenger covered his mouth and nose, leaving him unconscious.

From Mashimoni, while he was still unconscious, the suspects allegedly transported and dumped him at Lang’ata cemetery before fleeing the scene.

The next day, October 2, 2025, at around 4p.m., the victim regained consciousness, naked except for socks, inside Lang’ata Cemetery. Disoriented and in pain, he cried out for help before managing to reach Lang’ata Police Station. 

Before filing a report, the victim sought to use a toilet near the cemetery entrance, where he discovered a polythene bag lodged in his rectum and experienced severe pain.

He was rushed to a nearby hospital before being referred to Nairobi Women’s Hospital, where he was admitted at the Hurlingham branch.

Medical examinations confirmed the presence of a foreign object in his rectum. He later underwent surgery to remove it and was also treated for a sexually transmitted infection, clear evidence pointing to sexual assault.

The pre-trial hearing in the case is set to begin on October 30, 2025.
