Njeri Mwangi believes that if it were not for this Matatu she probably would be dead or hurt.It's crew was her guardian angels.
It
all started around 11ish, at City stadium roundabout when she noticed
that a car beside her,which had been behind her all the way from
Madaraka.
She started
feeling apprehensive. Ahead of her there was a slow car so she decided
to follow it behind and the car trailing her decided what join them as
well.The bad guys were in a Silver Bluebird Nissan.
She decided
to gas pedal and hightail at a crazy speed, and almost overturn at the
Rikana supermarket roundabout, we're now at 140kph.The Bluebird does
the same.
She is now at 150kph thereabouts almost at the Total,
near the junction to Buru, there's an Ummoinner matatu ahead, blaring
music.It is a sign of relief until it gets into the Petrol station and
she decides to follow it.
The Bluebird is hanging out at the
stage. She notifies the Ummoiner crew(this mat) that she was being
followed by possible hijackers.
The Ummoiner use the Buru route
normally but for their sake it detours to use Jogoo road.It is at this
point escorting them home.
This matatu is full of passengers, but
they decided to escort all the way, through the roundabout via Manyanja
Road,to Bee Center. (this is NOT their route remember).They went out of
their way.
Everyone including the passengers is willing to get her home,and at some point they stop seeing the Blue Bird.
They insist if she is not okay they'll drive behind her till the
Estate main gate, but the road looks clear and she hightail out of
there.
She says the crew of this Ummoinner KCK 135 C is her hero
and probably this story would have a different ending were it for them.
The passengers also didn't complain when the Matatu detoured out of its normal route.That is the Kenyan spirit she narrrates.
If photos and videos of Matatus doing bad things go viral,maybe a photo of a Matatu that saved a life should also go viral.
Ever had a positive experience with a Matatu ?Let us know in the comments
