Quickmart has suffered a loss of Sh94 million in what appears to be a robbery that took place on Monday while the money was being ferried to the Nairobi city centre for banking.
As of now, there are concerns over the whereabouts of the two Wells Fargo staffers responsible for transporting the funds. In response, the authorities have launched a search operation. The incident occurred early in the morning when crew commander Daniel Mungai and driver Anthony Nduiki went to collect the funds from the Wells Fargo vault.
Their destination was Family Bank Kenyatta Avenue where they intended to bank the proceeds from the retail chain. According to a police signal, the duo abandoned their vehicle, an Isuzu Canter, at Dafarm in South C and vanished without any trace. It is worth noting that they did not have their usual police escort with them.
“Later, the Administration Police Officers waited but did not see them, and it is then that they raised alarm,” the police report reads in part.
The police report states that the Administration Police Officers were waiting for them, but they never showed up, prompting the officers to raise an alarm. The Lang’ata Sub-County Police Commander Monica Kimani has confirmed the incident. She says that they have not yet determined whether the reported figure of Sh94 million is accurate.
“We are on the case. However, we have not yet established whether this is the actual figure...but that is what we received from the one who reported it,” she says.

They Ain't going Nowhere. They'll be Caught unless they 'Vanish into Thin air" to Uganda or Tanzania.
Poor administrative quickmart..with current technology every second in transit should me monitored with at least three remote station. Vehicle gadgets that detect door opening locks with tracker. Realtime camcorder on driver and fault etc it is 94M..but as usual it was an inside job. well executed.
Crime is the number one disincentive to foreign investment. If the Kenyan people and their government cannot contain their appetite for crime and corruption, they can say goodbye to foreign investment, and the consequences are obvious: higher crime, higher cost of living, higher unemployment, higher rates of poverty and desperation, higher environmental degradation, higher death rates and more anarchy. The Kenyan version of Haiti won't be too far off.
